An introductory text to digital circuits for beginning electronics students which provides coverage of basic digital concepts and includes 46 actual digital projects that illustrate concrete applications. Coverage encompasses digital, combinational and sequential logic circuits.

The fundamentals and implementation of digital electronics are essential to understanding the design and working of consumer/industrial electronics, communications, embedded systems, computers, security and military equipment. Devices used in applications such as these are constantly decreasing in size and employing more complex technology. It is therefore essential for engineers and students to understand the fundamentals, implementation and application principles of digital electronics, devices and integrated circuits. This is so that they can use the most appropriate and effective technique to suit their technical need. This book provides practical and comprehensive coverage of digital electronics, bringing together information on fundamental theory, operational aspects and potential applications. With worked problems, examples, and review questions for each chapter, Digital Electronics includes: information on number systems, binary codes, digital arithmetic, logic gates and families, and Boolean algebra; an in-depth look at multiplexers, de-multiplexers, devices for arithmetic operations, flip-flops and related devices, counters and registers, and data conversion circuits; up-to-date coverage of recent application fields, such as programmable logic devices, microprocessors, microcontrollers, digital troubleshooting and digital instrumentation. A comprehensive, must-read book on digital electronics for senior undergraduate and graduate students of electrical, electronics and computer engineering, and a valuable reference book for professionals and researchers.

Unlike books currently on the market, this book attempts to satisfy two goals: combine circuits and electronics into a single, unified treatment, and establish a strong connection with the contemporary world of digital systems. It will introduce a new way of looking not only at the treatment of circuits, but also at the treatment of introductory coursework in engineering in general. Using the concept of ''abstraction,'' the book attempts to form a bridge between the world of physics and the world of large computer systems. In particular, it attempts to unify electrical engineering and computer science as the art of creating and exploiting successive abstractions to manage the complexity of building useful electrical systems. Computer systems are simply one type of electrical systems.+Balances circuits theory with practical digital electronics applications.+Illustrates concepts with real devices.+Supports the popular circuits and electronics course on the MIT OpenCourse Ware from which professionals worldwide study this new approach.+Written by two educators well known for their innovative teaching and research and their collaboration with industry.+Focuses on contemporary MOS technology.

DIGITAL ELECTRONICS offers a comprehensive, computer-supported introduction to digital electronics, from basic electrical theory and digital logic to hands-on, high-tech applications. Designed to support Project Lead the Way's (PLTW) innovative Digital Electronics (DE) curriculum, this dynamic text prepares students for college and career success in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). The text introduces core concepts such as electrical shop practices and electrical theory, enables students to gain confidence by exploring key principles and applying their knowledge, and helps develop sophisticated skills in circuit analysis, design, and troubleshooting. Many of the text's abundant examples and exercises support the use of Multisim, allowing students to visualize and analyze circuits including combinational and sequential circuits before constructing them. In addition, a variety of proven learning tools make mastering the material easier, including self-check problems in every chapter, Bring it Home questions to solidify core concepts, and challenging Extra Mile problems to help students deepen their understanding and hone their skills. As an integrated part of your PLTW program or a stand-alone classroom resource, DIGITAL ELECTRONICS is an ideal choice to support your students' STEM success.

Digital Electronics and Design with VHDL offers a friendly presentation of the fundamental principles and practices of modern digital design. Unlike any other book in this field, transistor-level implementations are also included, which allow the readers to gain a solid understanding of a circuit's real potential and limitations, and to develop a realistic perspective on the practical design of actual integrated circuits. Coverage includes the largest selection available of digital circuits in all categories (combinational, sequential, logical, or arithmetic); and detailed digital design techniques, with a thorough discussion on state-machine modeling for the analysis and design of complex sequential systems. Key technologies used in modern circuits are also described, including Bipolar, MOS, ROM/RAM, and CPLD/FPGA chips, as well as codes and techniques used in data storage and transmission. Designs are illustrated by means of complete, realistic applications using VHDL, where the complete code, comments, and simulation results are included. This text is ideal for courses in Digital Design, Digital Logic, Digital Electronics, VLSI, and VHDL; and industry practitioners in digital electronics. - Comprehensive coverage of fundamental digital concepts and principles, as well as complete, realistic, industry-standard designs - Many circuits shown with internal details at the transistor-level, as in real integrated circuits - Actual technologies used in state-of-the-art digital circuits presented in conjunction with fundamental concepts and principles - Six chapters dedicated to VHDL-based techniques, with all VHDL-based designs synthesized onto CPLD/FPGA chips
