This text is intended for an introductory digital design course for students at the freshman level; it also is intended for an introductory computer... design course with assembly language programming for students at the sophomore level. This text uses a spiral teaching approach by introducing a design problem and then, in the same chapter or a later chapter, either (1) reemphasizing the same concepts when a different design is presented, or (2) working the same problem using a different technique. This is done to increase the likelihood of retention.

Numerous examples are provided throughout the text.Coverage includes: Digital circuits at the gate and flip-flop levels Analysis and design of combinational and sequential circuits Microcomputer organization, architecture, and programming concepts Design of computer instruction sets, CPU, memory, and I/O System design features associated with popular microprocessors from Intel and Motorola Future plans in microprocessor development An instructor's manual, available upon request Additionally, the accompanying CD-ROM, contains step-by-step procedures for installing and using Altera Quartus II software, MASM 6.11 (8086), and 68asmsim (68000), provides valuable simulation results via screen shots. Fundamentals of Digital Logic and Microcomputer Design is an essential reference that will provide you with the fundamental tools you need to design typical digital systems.

Fundamentals of Digital Logic With Verilog Design teaches the basic design techniques for logic circuits. It emphasizes the synthesis of circuits and... explains how circuits are implemented in real chips. Fundamental concepts are illustrated by using small examples.Use of CAD software is well integrated into the book. A CD-ROM that contains Altera's Quartus CAD software comes free with every copy of the text. The CAD software provides automatic mapping of a design written in Verilog into Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and Complex Programmable Logic Devices (CPLDs). Students will be able to try, firsthand, the book's Verilog examples (over 140) and homework problems. Engineers use Quartus CAD for designing, simulating, testing and implementing logic circuits. The version included with this text supports all major features of the commercial product and comes with a compiler for the IEEE standard Verilog language. Students will be able to: enter a design into the CAD systemcompile the design into a selected devicesimulate the functionality and timing of the resulting circuitimplement the designs in actual devices (using the school's laboratory facilities) Verilog is a complex language, so it is introduced gradually in the book. Each Verilog feature is presented as it becomes pertinent for the circuits being discussed. To teach the student to use the Quartus CAD, the book includes three tutorials.

"Fundamentals of Digital Logic With VHDL Design" teaches the basic design techniques for logic circuits. It emphasizes the synthesis of circuits and... explains how circuits are implemented in real chips. Fundamental concepts are illustrated by using small examples, which are easy to understand. Then, a modular approach is used to show how larger circuits are designed. VHDL is used to demonstrate how the basic building blocks and larger systems are defined in a hardware description language, producing designs that can be implemented with modern CAD tools.The book emphasizes the concepts that should be covered in an introductory course on logic design, focusing on: Logic functions, gates, and rules of Boolean algebra; Circuit synthesis and optimization techniques; Number representation and arithmetic circuits; Combinational-circuit building blocks, such as multiplexers, decoders, encoders, and code converters; Sequential-circuit building blocks, such as flip-flops, registers, and counters; Design of synchronous sequential circuits; And use of the basic building blocks in designing larger systems.It also includes chapters that deal with important, but more advanced topics: Design of asynchronous sequential circuits; Testing of logic circuits For students who have had no exposure to basic electronics, but are interested in learning a few key concepts, there is a chapter that presents the most basic aspects of electronic implementation of digital circuits.
