From the Back Cover

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 readers to use as they go forward in this fast moving field.

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.
