Introduction To Digital Systems: Modeling, Synthesis, And Simulation Using Vhdl

Ferdjallah (modeling, analysis, and simulation; Old Dominion U., Virginia) introduces students and users to analytical and computational methods for modeling, synthesizing, and simulating digital principles using very high-speed integrated-circuit hardware description language (VHDL) programming. He integrates theoretical principles, discrete mathematical models, computer simulations, and basic methods of analysis to explain how to design digital systems. His topics include number systems, Boolean algebra and logic, integrated logic, combinational logic, and synchronous sequential logic. The level is suitable for graduate or upper-level students in electronics, computer science, and similar fields. Annotation c2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
