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.
