Features: This book maintains the key feature of the previous edition in introducing the fundamental content, concepts, and methods of digital logic design, while also updating the corresponding hardware technologies in line with current digital design advancements. It incorporates new knowledge of programmable logic technologies and introduces design tools for electronic design automation. By using the hardware description language Verilog, which dominates current digital logic design, the book illustrates several typical design examples, helping readers and engineers to conduct more in-depth digital system design using hardware description languages. The book is divided into three parts: Chapter 1 provides an overall overview of logic design; Chapters 2 to 5 cover combinational logic; and Chapters 6 to 10 introduce sequential logic. The book is well-structured, clearly defines concepts, technologies, tools, and practical problems, and provides numerous design examples to explicitly illustrate design experiences and rules. It is highly suitable as a textbook for digital logic design courses in colleges and universities, as well as a reference for engineers and technicians engaged in digital logic design.
