Pragmatic Logic presents the analysis and design of digital logic systems. The author begins with a brief study of binary and hexadecimal number systems and then looks at the basics of Boolean algebra. The study of logic circuits is divided into two parts, combinational logic, which has no memory, and sequential logic, which does. Numerous examples highlight the principles being presented. The text ends with an introduction to digital logic design using Verilog, a hardware description language. The chapter on Verilog can be studied along with the other chapters in the text. After the reader has completed combinational logic in Chapters 4 and 5, sections 9.1 and 9.2 would be appropriate. Similarly, the rest of Chapter 9 could be studied after completing sequential logic in Chapters 6 and 7. This short lecture book will be of use to students at any level of electrical or computer engineering and for practicing engineers or scientists in any field looking for a practical and applied introduction to digital logic. The author's ""pragmatic"" and applied style gives a unique and helpful ""non-idealist, practical, opinionated"" introduction to digital systems.

O autorovi

Bill Eccles has been Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology since 1990 (except for one year at Oklahoma State). He retired in 1990 as Distinguished Professor Emeritus after 25 years at the University of South Carolina. He founded the Department of Computer Science at that university, and served at one time or another as head of four different departments, Computer Science, Mathematics and Computer Science, and Electrical and Computer Engineering, all at South Carolina, and Electrical and Computer Engineering at Rose-Hulman. Most of his teaching has been in circuits and in microprocessor systems. He has published Microprocessor Systems: A 16-Bit Approach (Addison-Wesley, 1985) and numerous monographs on circuits, systems, microprocessor programming, and digital logic design. In this Synthesis Lectures in Digital Circuits and Systems series, Bill has published several texts in this Pragmatic series, all to introduce electrical topics to non-electrical engineers. Bill and his wife Trish have two children and four grandchildren. Bill is also a conductor (appropriate for an electrical engineer) on the Whitewater Valley Railroad, a tourist line in Connersville, Indiana. He is a Registered Professional Engineer and an amateur radio operator.
