Digital Design : A Systems Approach

La 4e de couv. indique : "This introductory textbook provides students with a system-level perspective and the tools they need to understand, analyze and design digital systems. It goes beyond the design of simple combinational and sequential modules to show how such modules are used to build complete systems. All the essential topics needed to understand modern design practice are covered, including : design and analysis of combinational and sequential modules, composition of combinational and sequential modules, data and control partitioning, factoring and composition of finite-state machines, interface specification, system timing, synchronization. Teaches how to write Verilog HDL in a productive and maintainable style that enables CAD tools to do much of the tedious work. Covers the fundamentals of logic design, describing an efficeint method to design combinational logic and state machines both manually and using modern CAD tools. A complete introduction to digital design is given through accurate, clear explanations, extensive examples and online Verilog files. The teaching package is completed with lecture slides, labs, and a solutions manual for instructors. Assuming no previous digital knowledge, this textbook is ideal for undergraduate digital design courses that will prepare students for modern digital practice."
