Publisher's Synopsis
Rice Combinational and Sequential Logic This text provides a guide to combinational and sequential logic, introducing students to the basic concepts then progressing to HND/first year undergraduate level. It has a highly practical emphasis, enabling the reader to simulate, build and test the circuits discussed in the text. Electronics Workbench files are provided for simulation, while easy-to-use XPLA software and specially designed hardware encourage the reader to build and test the circuits using programmable logic. The text itself contains many self-assessment questions, complete with detailed answers, allowing students to test themselves as they learn. No previous experience of the topic is required and an abundance of practical examples helps students to apply the basic principles. The accompanying CD-ROM provides the XPLA development system software and Electronics Workbench files, as well as the Xilinx Webpack development system and 'walkthrough'. Hardware for Programmable Logic experiments can either be purchased or built following instructions from the text.;Altogether, the text, software and hardware provide an interactive and stimulating teaching and learning resource. FEATURES *accessible introduction for all students, requiring little experience of digital electronics *complete teaching and learning resource for the Higher National unit, "Combinational and Sequential Logic" *includes assignments, self-assessment questions and practical examples *additions and updates are available from the web at http://www.booksites.net/rice *accompanying CD-ROM contains XPLA software and Electronics Workbench files, plus the Xilinx Webpack development system *build-or-buy hardware is available for Programmable Logic experiments Aimed primarily at students taking the new Higher National unit "Combinational and Sequential Logic", but also provides coverage of the digital aspects of the "Digital and Analogue Devices and Circuits" unit. In addition it is an accessible text for undergraduates on Electronic and General Engineering degree courses, and for practising design engineers who need to familiarise themselves with programmable logic. Martin Rice is a Senior Lecturer in Engineering at Newbury College.
