John P. Hayes, a well-known authority in the area of computer engineering, now brings his expertise to digital logic design. Intended as a mainstream introduction for the first course, Introduction to Digital Logic Design provides a presentation which is both scholarly and highly supportive of student learning. In addition, it presents the traditional core topics including sequential and combinational design and register level logic. This is the first introductory text that provides balanced coverage of concepts, techniques and practice. Also, the text includes excellent coverage of the most modern topics and technologies -- programmable logic devices (PLD's), the testability, and computer aided design (CAD). This text has an attractive, practical design that highlights a number of features that support student learning.
A college text for a one- or two-term first course in digital logic design at about the sophomore or junior level. It covers the basics of switching theory and logic design necessary to analyze and design combinational and sequential logic circuits at switch, gate, and register (or register-transfer) levels, with the main emphasis on the gate level. No specific prerequisites are assumed. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
