Digital Electronics Pld Integrations

Suitable for digital electronics courses, this text introduces students to both the fundamentals of digital logic and the advanced, modern method of utilizing the fundamentals with programmable logic device (PLD) technology, which should allow students to understand the how and why behind this new technology.

With the industry's rising use of Programmable Logic Devices (PLDs), it has become increasingly important for electronics students to learn to understand how PLDs work. Nigel P. Cook's "Digital Electronics with PLD Integration" is intended to do just that. Students will find a combination of fundamental digital logic theory with a presentation and explanation of PLDs. The features of this text include:

• An "integration" of the Programmable Logic Device concepts and applications with standard logic fundamentals, allowing students to understand the how and why behind this new technology.
• Coverage of both Xilinx and Altera software at the end of most chapters to show students how to "apply" the concepts of PLDs.
• End-of-chapter questions and exercises geared to reinforce "both standard logic and PLD concepts."
