Publisher's Synopsis
This text provides an introduction to the elements of basic digital electronics and switching theory that are used in most practical digital designs today. There are also discussions of real-world digital components, design methodologies and tools.;The text presents the basic concepts of digital circuits and switching theory, focusing on the tools and techniques used in the vast majority of practical digital designs today. It also emphasizes structured design techniques that apply to both discrete MSI/LSI design and VLSI chip design. The text goes on to develop structured logic design techniques for real applications using MSI functions, PLDs, ROMSs, RAMs and state machines, emphasizing electrical circuit properties of digital logic elements. The focusis on modern digital design and debugging environments including documentation practices and CAE tools.
