For sophomore courses on digital design in an Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science department.

The book presents the basic tools for the design of digital circuits and provides procedures suitable for a variety of digital applications.

  • NEW - Nine sections on Verilog Hardware Description Language (HDL)—Inserted in separate sections in such a way that they can be covered or skipped as desired.
    • The HDL presentation is at a level suitable for beginning students that are learning digital circuits at the same time as learning a hardware description language.

  • NEW - Minor changes in emphasis due to changes in technology.
  • NEW - Reorganized material on combinational circuits—Now covered in one chapter instead of two.
  • NEW - New emphasis in the sequential circuits chapters on design with D flip-flops instead of JK and SR flip-flops.
  • NEW - Combination of material on memory and programmable logic into one chapter.
  • NEW - Mostly new Chapter 8—Covers digital design in the Register Transfer Level (RTL).
    • Prepares the student for more advanced design projects and further Verilog HDL studies.

  • NEW - New section in Chapter 11—Supplements the laboratory experiments with HDL experiments.
    • Enables students to check the circuits designed in the laboratory by means of hardware components and/or by HDL simulation.

  • NEW - Easy to use Verilog HDL simulator CD-ROM—Packaged with every book.
    • Provides students with an all-in-one environment to learn, write, and test their designs without a lot of overhead.

  • NEW - Companion Website—Includes resources for instructors and students such as transparency masters of all figures, all HDL code examples, and more.

This is a modern revision of the classic digital design textbook. The book teaches the basic tools for the design of digital circuits in a clear, easily accessible manner. New to This Edition:

  • Nine sections on Verilog Hardware Description Language (HDL) inserted in discrete sections, allowing the material to be covered or skipped as desired. The Verilog HDL presentation is at a suitable level for beginning students who are learning digital circuits for the first time.
  • Reorganized material on combinational circuits is now covered in a single chapter.
  • The emphasis in the sequential circuits chapters is now on design with D flip-flops instead of JK and SR flip-flops.
  • The material on memory and programmable logic is now consolidated in one chapter.
  • Chapter 8 consists mostly of new material and now covers digital design in the Register Transfer Level (P) FL), preparing the reader for more advanced design projects and further Verilog HDL studies.
  • A new section in Chapter 11 supplements the laboratory experiments with HDL experiments. These unable the reader to check the circuits designed in the laboratory by means of hardware components and/or by HDL simulation.
  • Text accompanied by Verilog simulator software—SynaptiCAD's VeriLogger Pro evaluation version, a Verilog simulation environment that combines all of the features of a traditional Verilog simulator with a powerful graphical test vector generator. Fast model testing in VeriLogger Pro allows the reader to perform bottom-up testing of every model in a design. All of the HDL examples in the book can be found on the CD-ROM.
  • A Companion Website includes resources for instructors and students such as transparency masters of all figures in the book, all HDL code examples from the book, a Verilog tutorial, tutorials on using the VeriLogger Pro software, and more. It can be found at http://www.prenhall.com/mano
