Digital systems: principles and applications

KEY BENEFITWritten for all courses in digital electronics--from introductory to advanced, from high school to two- and four-year college programs--thisTwelfth EditionofDigital Systemsthoroughly prepares students for the study of digital systems and computer and microcontroller hardware. The text begins with the basics of digital systems, including the AHDL hardware description language, then gradually progresses to increasingly challenging topics, including the more complex VHDL. The text is comprehensive yet highly readable, clearly introducing the purpose and fundamentals of each topic before delving into more technical descriptions. It is also definition-focused, with new terms listed in each chapter and defined in a glossary. ThisTwelfth Editionhas been thoroughly revised and updated with new material on section-level learning outcomes, Quadrature Shaft Encoders used to obtain absolute shaft positions, troubleshooting prototype circuits using systematic fault isolation techniques, Time Division Multiplexing, expanded discussion of VHDL data objects and more!KEY TOPICSIntroductory Concepts; Number Systems and Codes; Describing Logic Circuits; Combinational Logic Circuits; Flip-Flops and Related Devices; Digital Arithmetic: Operations and Circuits; Counters and Registers; Integrated-Circuit Logic Families; MSI Logic Circuits; Digital System Projects Using HDL; Interfacing with the Analog World; Memory Devices; Programmable Logic Device ArchitecturesMARKET:For all courses in digital electronics, from introductory through advanced. Like previous editions, this text will be used widely in technology classes ranging from high schools and two-year programs to four-year engineering, engineering technology, and computer science programs.
