"Introduction to Logic Design" is intended for a first course in logic design, taken by computer science, computer engineering, and electrical engineering students (most commonly in the sophomore year). Its special strengths are a clear presentation of fundamentals with an exceptional collection of examples, solved problems, and exercises. The text integrates laboratory experiences, both hardware and computer simulation, while not making them mandatory for following the main flow of the chapters. Design is emphasized throughout the text. Switching algebra is developed as a tool for analyzing and implementing digital systems. The book contains an excellent presentation of minimization of combinational circuits, including multiple output ones, using the Karnaugh map and iterated consensus. There are a number of examples of the design of larger systems, both combinational and sequential, using medium scale integrated circuits and programmable logic devices. "Introduction to Logic Design" will provide students with the sort of grounding that will give them a solid foundation for further study, whether it be in a computer science, computer engineering, or electrical engineering program.

From the Publisher

A clear and well-paced writing style makes this text especially well-suited for students who might otherwise find this course area particularly challenging.
An extensive set of examples well integrated into the body of the text as well as at the end of each chapter in sections of solved problems gives students multiple opportunities to understand the topics being presented.
The text integrates practical circuits with theory by presenting two types of laboratory experiments. Traditional hands-on hardware experiments as well as simulation laboratory exercises using popular software packages are tied closely to the text material to allow students to implement the concepts they are learning.
Use of the Karnaugh Map helps students understand the principles of switching algebra.
Coupling of gate implementation with the algebra helps extend the students' range of understanding.
A thorough discussion of the minimization of switching functions using Karnaugh maps, including 6-variable maps and multiple output problems, gives students something to sink their teeth into and doesn't leave them wondering about the unusual or boundary case.
An algorithmic minimization approach using iterated consensus helps distinguish the text.
Design using standard medium scale integrated circuit packages and programmable logic devices is emphasized.
Complete coverage of the analysis and design of synchronous sequential systems adds to the comprehensive nature of the text.
The derivation of state tables from word problems further emphasizes the practical implementation of the material being presented
State reduction and state assignment using partitions is also included.Also included at web site Altera's MaxPlusII and Yoeric Win Breadboard demo.
