For the latest digital principles, techniques, and hardware, look no further than this up-to-date edition! Practical, easy-to-understand coverage of the basics of digital design is provided, along with information on the necessary hardware to implement the design, and VHDL programming language for programming PLD devices. Everything from basic programming concepts to microprocessors and micro controllers is featured, with updated coverage of CMOS sub-families and IC packages that reflect recent industry changes. Key Features Lab exercises that require readers to utilize multiple approaches when constructing and analyzing circuits, designing and testing them, troubleshooting faults, and implementing circuits in a CPLD help solidify key concepts Many chapters contain circuits in Multisim for troubleshooting so that readers gain practical experience while developing analytical thinking skills Optional coverage on programming complex programmable logic devices (CPDs) using VHDL allow users to gain valuable exposure to a powerful industry-standard programming language. VHDL programs are created, compiled, simulated, and downloaded using Altera's Quartus II development system, which is available for free on the CD included at the back of the book Table Of Contents 1.
