This item has been replaced by Digital Systems: Principles and Applications, 10/E.

For an introduction to digital systems in two- and four-year programs in technology, engineering, and computer science. While a background in basic electronics is helpful, the majority of the material requires no electronics training.

The authors use a block diagram approach to basic logic operations, to enable students to have a firm understanding of logic principles before they study the electrical characteristics of the logic ICs. For each new device or circuit, the authors describe the principle of the operation, give thorough examples, and then show its actual application. Finally, the modern HDL representation is presented.

NEW - Introduction of two hardware description languages—VHDL and AHDL.
- Showcases over 40 design file examples for EACH language and ten examples of simulation testing.

NEW - Chapter on project development and top down system design.
- Teaches students practical methods that will also be useful in other areas, such as analog circuits and microprocessor-based systems.

NEW - Added chapter-end problems involving HDL.
- Reinforces concepts.

NEW - Rewritten chapter on Programmable Logic Device Architectures.
- Presents students with a better survey of the technologies available to implement digital systems, and more insight into current PLD architecture.

Extensive coverage of troubleshooting—Includes principles, techniques, case studies, examples, and practice problems.
- Helps students develop troubleshooting skills, especially when supplemented with actual troubleshooting opportunities in a lab environment.

Uses proven methods of teaching basic principles while bridging between the traditional and the most current technology.
- Prepares students for careers now and in the future.

Two accompanying CD-ROMs containing Texas Instruments TTL and CMOS IC data sheets, Altera MAX & PLUS, and Electronic Work Bench.
