Synopsis

This newly revised book blends academic precision and practical experience in an authoritative introduction to basic principles of digital design and practical requirements in both board-level and VLSI systems. With over twenty years of experience in both industrial and university settings, the author covers the most widespread logic design practices while building a solid foundation of theoretical and engineering principles for students to use as they go forward in this fast moving field.

About this title

From the Publisher

Real-world yet scholarly in approach, this book provides a solid foundation in the elements of basic digital electronics and switching theory that are used in most practical digital designs today, and builds on that theory with discussions of real-world digital components, design methodologies, and tools.

FEATURES/BENEFITS

• NEW—Early coverage of modern CMOS logic families—Includes low voltage and LVCMOS/LVTTL.
• NEW—Coverage of Complex Programmable Logic Devices (CPLDs) and Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs).
• Provides the general background needed for associated CPLD- and FPGA-based lab courses.
• NEW—Earlier introduction of HDL-based digital design.
• HDL concepts can be used throughout the course.
• NEW—HDL coverage and examples—Includes VHDL as well as ABEL.
• VHDL is an industry-standard language that also provides a good foundation for Verilog if required.
• NEW—Programming examples written in C rather than Pascal.
• NEW—Faster progression through non-automated methods—Such as Karnaugh maps and state-machine synthesis.
• While these are used to illustrate some basic concepts, more emphasis is given to the methods and tools that are actually used on the job.
• NEW—Description of automated methods including simulation and synthesis.
• NEW—More and larger design examples.
• More opportunity to "learn by example."
• NEW—Drill problems and exercises.
• NEW—Includes CD-ROMS with the complete Xilinx Foundation 1.5 (Student Edition), including schematic entry, ABEL, VHDL, and Verilog compilers, simulator, and documentation.
• Users with a PC can create and simulate designs using a high-quality set of commercial tools, and thereby learn the practical side of digital design first-hand.
• Easy-to-follow, practical writing style and extensive use of illustrations.
• High-quality, user-friendly color production.
