Fundamentals of Digital Logic with VHDL Design

Fundamentals of Digital Logic with VHDL Design introduces the essential techniques for designing and understanding digital logic circuits. The book takes an incremental approach, beginning with small, easily comprehensible examples before guiding readers through the synthesis and optimization of more complex designs. Emphasizing both combinational and sequential logic, the text covers topics such as Boolean algebra, logic functions, circuit synthesis, and arithmetic circuits while detailing the use of elemental building blocks like multiplexers, decoders, flip-flops, registers, and counters. The content also explores more advanced subjects, including the design of asynchronous sequential circuits and the practical aspects of circuit testing, ensuring a well-rounded understanding of digital system design. VHDL is seamlessly integrated into the discussion, demonstrating how basic components and larger systems can be described in a hardware description language suitable for modern CAD tools. This solid blend of theory and applied design makes the book a valuable resource for students and professionals alike who are embarking on the study of digital logic design.
