TITLE: Text on Digital Electronics and Design with VHDL

A new text entitled "Digital Electronics and Design with VHDL" by
Prof.  Volnei  Pedroni  is  being  published  by  Elsevier/Morgan
Kaufmann (ISBN: 978-0-12-374270-4).

This book offers  a  friendly  presentation  of  the  fundamental
principles  and  practices  of  modern digital design. Unlike any
other book in this field,  transistor-level  implementations  are
also   included,   which  allow  the  readers  to  gain  a  solid
understanding of a circuit?s real potential and limitations,  and
to  develop  a  realistic  perspective on the practical design of
actual  integrated  circuits.  Coverage  includes   the   largest
selection   available  of  digital  circuits  in  all  categories
(combinational, sequential,  logical,  or  arithmetic).  Coverage
also includes detailed digital design techniques, with a thorough
discussion on state-machine modeling for the analysis and  design
of  complex  sequential  systems. Key technologies used in modern
circuits are also described, including Bipolar, MOS, ROM/RAM, and
CPLD/FPGA  chips,  as  well  as codes and techniques used in data
storage and transmission. Designs are  illustrated  by  means  of
complete,  realistic  applications using VHDL, where the complete
code, comments and simulation results are included.
