Features: This book elaborates on the theories necessary to understand the fundamental concepts of logic design, comprising 20 chapters. It covers basic concepts such as Boolean algebra, logic gate design, flip-flops, and state machines. By combining flip-flops and logic gates, students learn how to design counters, adders, sequence detectors, and similar circuits. The book introduces modern design techniques using programmable logic devices and the VHDL hardware description language, emphasizing the role of VHDL in logic circuit simulation and computer-aided design. It serves as an introductory textbook for students in electronic engineering and computer science programs studying digital system logic design. It also lays a foundation for further advanced studies in digital system design and switching theory. Additionally, it is an ideal self-study textbook. The book thoroughly explains the theories necessary to understand the fundamental concepts of logic design, with main content including Boolean algebra, logic gate design, latches, flip-flops, and state machines. By combining flip-flops and logic gates, it explains how to design counters, adders, sequence detectors, and similar circuits. The book also introduces the application of the VHDL hardware description language in combinational logic design, sequential logic design, and simple digital system design. It is suitable as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in electronic engineering, computer science, and related fields at universities, as well as a reference for engineering professionals.
