Digital Fundamentals: Experiments and Concepts with CPLDs

Now students can learn digital principles with just a basic understanding of electrical circuits! This new book incorporates new CPLD Integrated Circuit technology to teach digital principles. It is designed to allow schools to purchase the affordable Altera laboratory package and immediately begin using it in a lab. Careful attention has been given to present concepts in a systematic and progressive format that creates a positive environment where students can feel confident about what they are doing and learning. Within the 20 labs, there are 16 that teach digital fundamental concepts and apply these concepts in experiments. The last 4 labs are design projects that test a student's ability to apply the learned knowledge. A CD-ROM is included that contains animated PowerPoint presentations that students can utilize to review digital concepts as well as VHDL code.
