Digital Electronics: A Practical Approach with VHDL, 9th edition
Title overview
For courses in Digital Electronics, Digital Systems, and Digital Design.
Digital Electronics: A Practical Approach with VHDL, Ninth Edition, offers students an easy-to-learn-from resource that emphasizes practical application of circuit design, operation, and troubleshooting. Over 1,000 annotated color figures help explain circuit operation or emphasize critical components and input/output criteria. Throughout the text, the author employs a step-by-step approach that takes students from theory to example to application of the concepts. Over all nine editions, Kleitz has consistently sought out student feedback, along with his own experience of teaching the course in-class and on-line, to improve each new edition.
Hallmark Features:
This easy-to-learn-from resource emphasizes practical application–of circuit design, operation, and troubleshooting.
- Programmable Logic Devices (FPGAs) are integrated within most chapters as a modern alternative to 7400-Series ICs.
- Circuit operational notes clarify illustrations to provide students quick insight into circuit operation.
- Margin annotations point out common misconceptions, team discussions, and helpful hints.
- Over 1,000 annotated figures offer descriptive, color annotations that reinforce the fundamental concepts of book.
Plentiful problems and examples–take students from theory to application.
- Electronics Workbench/MultiSIM examples and troubleshooting problems–Provide computer simulation of design and troubleshooting of digital circuits.
- Schematic interpretation problems–Gives students experience interpreting real-world circuits and ICs in complete system schematic diagrams.
- Timing waveforms–Gives students experience interpreting the waveforms they will encounter on the job when using oscilloscopes and logic analyzers.
- Design and troubleshooting problems–Asks students to modify existing circuits, as well as diagnose circuits for proper operation.
Thoroughly updated and rewritten–the ninth edition offers the latest coverage of circuit design.
- Rewritten examples and applicationsbased on the author's classroom experience
- Greatly expanded coverage of Programmable Logic Devices
- Includes the steps involved in converting from 7400-series ICs to FPGAs
- Beginning- and intermediate-level VHDL programming taught by example (Note: VHDL and FPGA coverage is optional, and it’s omission will not affect the remainder of the text.)
New Problem sets–and examples.
- New basic- and intermediate-level problem sets
- New MultiSIM examples and problems
- Real-world and “Green” applications added to several examples
- New and revised annotated figures
- Internet references added throughout
