Features: "Fundamentals of Logic Circuit Design" is an introductory textbook for students in computer science, computer engineering, and electrical engineering, among other disciplines, to learn logic circuit design. The book consists of 7 chapters and an appendix. The first 4 chapters cover number systems, switching algebra, truth tables, and Karnaugh maps, explaining the simplification of logic functions and the analysis and design of combinational systems. The last 3 chapters introduce the analysis and design of sequential systems, shift registers and counters, programmable logic devices, and state reduction and assignment using list and state partitioning methods. The appendix provides an introduction to 4 experimental platforms and 25 laboratory exercises.
To excel in logic circuit design, mastering three key aspects is essential: theory, exercises, and experiments. This book closely adheres to these teaching elements, systematically elaborating on the core content of logic design, with particular emphasis on systematic analysis and design methods. For key topics that require further reinforcement through practice, the book includes ample exercises. Each chapter is followed by a dedicated section on solved examples and a set of practice problems. This book serves as an excellent textbook for learning logic circuit design, making it suitable not only as a teaching material or reference for students in computer science, electrical engineering, and related fields but also as a reference for engineering professionals in these disciplines.
