Digital Logic and State Machine Design

by David J. Comer

Key Features Fills the need for a concise, practical text on digital system design at the undergraduate level. Features completely new chapters on programmable logic devices and computer organization. Written by one of the best-known and most-respected authors in the field About the Book: Digital Logic and State Machine Design: 3rd Edition From one of the best known and successful authors in the field,this new edition provides concise, practical coverage of digitalsystem design aimed at undergraduates. The primary goal of thisbook is to illustrate that sequential circuits can be designedusing state machine techniques. These methods apply to sequentialcircuit design as efficiently as Boolean algebra and Karnaughmapping methods apply to combinatorial design. Comer presents thetechniques involved, then proceeds directly to designing digitalsystems - a task comprising producing the schematic or blockdiagram of a system based on a given set of specifications. Thedesign serves as the basis for the construction of the actualhardware system. This new edition introduces state machines earlierthan in previous editions, amd adds new chapters on programmablelogic devices and computer organization. Contents Chapter 1.
