An Engineering Approach to Digital Design

0.0

Providing an engineering-based approach to digital design, this book develops general design methodology (stressing documentation) that is useful for a wide range of diverse applications. The text builds up conceptual understanding through a survey of selected theories and examples. Besides, it also considers the 'how-to' of practical time- efficient design methods (for well-documented reliable and debuggable hardware) for simple combinational systems, traditional sequential machines, high speed system controllers and programmable finite state machines. Key Features Carries the student from a fundamental beginning through interface design to programmable sequential machines and on into microprocessors. Stresses documentation_one of the major efforts of contemporary logic design. Lays emphasis on the definition and design phases of digital system development.
