Rating: Summary: This is an excelent textbook about digital electronics. Review: This is an introductory digital design textbook. It starts out assuming that you know nothing of the subject and takes you through everything in a clear manner. This book covers common ICs and how they could be used as well as some more complex circuts such as RAMs, ROMs, and PLDs. I find it to be an invaluable refrence
Rating: Summary: Easy and funny Review: This is realy a good book on digital design. It is easy to understand and funny so you enjoy to read it. Best digital design book I've had so fare.
Rating: Summary: A little silly at times, but good intro Review: Well the other reviews say it, the author presents the basics of digital logic design (boolean algebra, K-maps, optimization, minterm/maxterm representation, etc.) in a humurous fashion. You learn digital logic design *AND* have fun, too!The added bonus is the included software. The book comes with Xilinx Student Edition 2.1i, which you can use to draw schematics and simulate them. So you can apply what you read in the book. More advanced users can use the Verilog/VHDL synthesis tools (no simulation, htough) to practice FPGA design (which is beyond the scope of this book.) The *latest* third-edition printings, as of September 2000, include Xilinx Student Edition Software 2.1i... Most places don't have them in, yet. And ordering online is no guarantee you'll get the latest shipments...
