Abstract

This book adopts an integrated approach to hardware and software for logic-circuit design. It has been developed from the author's experience in lecturing to first-year undergraduate students of electronics and software engineering. Modern programming logic is used and the author describes how the basic programmable devices work, as well as how to write the software to make them work. The book starts off with the basics of combinatorial design: how to specify logic circuits, how to minimise them and how to implement them. Sequential logic design is presented using the algorithmic state machine (ASM) approach with reference to Moore and Mealy design. These are implemented in programmable logic, using a software specification to drive established programmable array logic (PAL) architectures; the software uses the popular PALASM and PLPL specification languages with worked design examples programming standard PAL chips. Later chapters also cover arithmetic circuits and their implementation, data conversion which is used to interface digital circuits to the outside world, and practical aspects of building digital circuits. Solutions are provided for the end of chapter questions. Sections 1. Introduction 1.1 Introducing digital electronics 1.2 Organisation of this book 1.3 Preliminaries 2.
