Digital Design 4/e

For sophomore courses on digital design in an Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science department.

Digital Design, fourth edition is a modern update of the classic authoritative text on digital design. This book teaches the basic concepts of digital design in a clear, accessible manner. The book presents the basic tools for the design of digital circuits and provides procedures suitable for a variety of digital applications.

Digital Design, fourth edition is a modern update of the classic authoritative text on digital design. This book teaches the basic concepts of digital design in a clear, accessible manner.
Many of the features in this fourth edition remain the same as those of the previous editions except for rearrangement of the material or changes in emphasis due to changes in the technology.
A significant number of end of chapter problems are updated in the 4th edition.
The Verilog Hardware Description Language (HDL) has been updated and expanded to exploit key enhancements that were introduced in IEEE standards 1364-2001 and 1364-2005, and to ensure that all examples conform to accepted industry practices for modeling digital hardware.
HDL material is inserted in separate sections so it can be covered or skipped as desired. The presentation is at a level suitable for beginning students that are learning digital circuits and a hardware description language at the same time.
The text introduces more graphical material to better serve learners who are oriented towards a graphical medium. Graphical results of simulation are presented to better enable understanding of digital circuit and to facilitate classroom discussions about them. Karnaugh maps are likewise presented with additional graphics to facilitate understanding of their use.
This edition of the text extends the previous edition's treatment of synchronous finite state machines by presenting a systematic methodology for designing a state machine to control the datapath of a digital system.
