Publisher's Synopsis
This treatment of the fundamentals of modern logic circuits aims to strike a balance between theory and practice and uses examples to clarify the general theory and to introduce useful devices.;The text introduces fault detection, metastability and computer aided design, emphasizes VLSI and LSI implementations, and explains the use of Karnaugh maps for manual design and for visualizing problems. It also covers iterative circuits both in linear and tree forms, presents devices such as D-latches, edge-triggered FFT's, synchronizers, arbiters and c-elements. Finally, the book treats specification of optimal clocking schemes for both one- and-two-phase systems, and introduces the state map for generating variable-entered k-maps from ASM charts.
