Fundamentals of Logic Design, 6th Edition / Edition 6

by Jr., Charles H. Roth, Larry L Kinney, Charles H. Roth Jr., Larry L. Kinney

Overview

Updated with modern coverage, a streamlined presentation, and an excellent companion CD, this sixth edition achieves yet again an unmatched balance between theory and application. Authors Charles H. Roth, Jr. and Larry L. Kinney carefully present the theory that is necessary for understanding the fundamental concepts of logic design while not overwhelming students with the mathematics of switching theory. Divided into 20 easy-to-grasp study units, the book covers such fundamental concepts as Boolean algebra, logic gates design, flip-flops, and state machines. By combining flip-flops with networks of logic gates, students will learn to design counters, adders, sequence detectors, and simple digital systems. After covering the basics, this text presents modern design techniques using programmable logic devices and the VHDL hardware description language.

About the Author

Charles Roth is Professor Emeritus in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin, where he taught Digital Design for more than four decades. He is the author of Fundamentals of Logic Design, which is in its sixth edition, and Digital Systems Design using VHDL, which is in its second edition.

Larry L. Kinney is a Professor and Director of Undergraduate Studies at the University of Minnesota. He received his Ph.D in Electrical Engineering from the University of Iowa in 1968. His research concerns digital system and digital computer design, specifically concurrent error detection techniques, testing of logic and design, distributed computer systems, computer architectures, error detecting/correcting codes, and applications of microprocessors.

Editorial Reviews

The material is very well presented. Starting with a study guide in each chapter helps students reevaluate whether they have learned the material. Programmed exercises guide the student in solving the initial problems in each chapter.

I like the way that VHDL is introduced at Chapter 10 (just after the combinational logic) and Chapter 17 (just before the sequential logic). For a first course in logic design, I like the briefness of the chapters. It places the presented materials in focus.
