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 Back Cover

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.
