This edition uses programmable logic as the primary vehicle for teaching digital design principles, and maintains its cutting-edge status by updating to Altera's newest Quartus II software, the most current method of digital design implementation. This Windows-based software allows users to design, test, and program CPLD designs in text-based (VHDL) and graphic (schematic entry) formats. This edition introduces CPLDs earlier in the teaching sequence, laying a solid foundation for more advanced principles without neglecting underlying digital fundamentals such as Boolean algebra, logic minimization, and combinational and sequential circuits. VHDL and Quartus II applications are provided throughout. Key Features Provides more thorough coverage of introductory techniques of VHDL, including enhanced simulation of VHDL designs. This book is intended as a textbook for an introductory course in digital electronics in an electronics engineering technologist (EET) or computer engineering technologist (CET) program.
