Digital Fundamentals (pearson)

For courses in digital circuits, digital systems (including design and analysis), digital fundamentals, digital logic and
introduction to computers Digital Fundamentals, Eleventh Edition, continues its long and respected tradition of offering students a strong foundation in the core fundamentals of digital technology, providing basic concepts reinforced by plentiful illustrations, examples, exercises and
applications. The
text’s teaching and learning resources include an Instructor’s Manual, PowerPoint lecture slides and

Featuresrovides a strong foundation in the core fundamentals of digital technology:
Revised and Improved! Coverage of key topics has been revised and improved, while obsolete devices have been deleted.
New! A new boxed feature, Implementation, shows how various logic functions can be implemented using fixed-function devices or by writing a VHDL program for PLD implementation. Added! Boolean simplification coverage now includes the Quine-McClusky method and
the Expresso method is introduced. Added! A discussion of Moore and Mealy state machines has been added. Improved! The chapter on programmable logic has been modified and improved.
Added! A discussion of memory hierarchy has been added. New! A new chapter on data transmission has been added and includes extensive coverage of standard busses. Revised! The chapter on computers has been completely revised and is now entitled Data Processing. Core fundamentals are presented without being intermingled with advanced or peripheral topics. Info Notes throughout the text’s margins provide interesting information in a condensed form. Hands-On Tips interspersed throughout provide useful and practical information. The
operation and application of test instruments, including the oscilloscope, logic analyser, function generator and
DMM, are covered.
