Essence of digital design.

By: Material type: TextTextSeries: Essence of engineeringPublication details: London : Prentice Hall, 1998.ISBN:
  • 0135701104
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 621.395 21
Contents:
1. Digital systems and the representation of information -- 2. Logic gates -- 3. Designing combinational circuits -- 4. Flip-flops and counters -- 5. Sequential circuit design -- 6. Designing with programmable logic devices -- 7. Testing logic circuits.
Summary: The Essence of Digital Design has been developed as a concise but complete introduction to digital logic design for undergraduate students of Engineering and Computer Science. After an introduction to the application domains of digital systems, the text describes basic gates, the Boolean algebra underpinning, combinational circuit design, flip-flops, sequential circuit design, and programmable logic devices. The final chapter introduces logic circuit fault testing to detect faults that might have occurred subsequently during manufacture. Proper consideration should be given to manufacturing a working system as well as obtaining a logically correct design - this is something that is often omitted from other texts, but is examined in full in The Essence of Digital Design, with design examples given throughout the text.
