Logic and Computer Design Fundamentals and Xilinx 4.2 Package (2nd Edition)

For introductory courses in Computer Engineering or Computer Hardware Design in departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or Electrical Engineering Technology; also appropriate for a Digital Systems Design course. Covers the fundamentals of hardware and computer design with exceptional breadth and in a very accessible style using abundant examples to build understanding and problem-solving skills. Reflects the current industry trend of designing with hardware description languages (HDLs) instead of logic diagrams - provides optional introductory treatments of both VHDL and Verilog languages - with additional coverage available on the Companion Website for more substantial treatment. Gives the instructor maximum flexibility in HDL coverage. By covering broadly-based fundamentals, provides an excellent foundation and perspective for more advanced courses in digital hardware design and computer architecture and organization preparation.
