Ndjountche T. Digital Electronics. Volume 2: Sequential and Arithmetic Logic Circuits

New York: Wiley-ISTE, 2016. — 330 p. — ISBN: 978-1848219854.The omnipresence of electronic devices in everyday life is accompanied by the size reduction and the ever-increasing complexity of digital circuits. This comprehensive and easy-to-understand work deals with basic principles of digital electronics and allows the reader to grasp the subtleties of digital circuits from logic gates to finite-state machines. It presents all the aspects related to combinational logic and sequential logic. It introduces techniques to establish in a simple and concise manner logic equations, as well as methods for the analysis and design of
digital circuits. Emphasis has been especially laid on design approaches that can be used to ensure a reliable operation of finite-state machines. Various programmable logic circuit structures and their applications are also presented. Each chapter includes practical examples and well-designed exercises with worked solutions.
This book presents the basic principles of digital electronics in an accessible manner, allowing the reader to grasp the principles of combinational and sequential logic and the underlying techniques for the analysis and design of digital circuits. Providing a hands-on approach, this work introduces techniques and methods for establishing logic equations and designing and analyzing digital circuits. Each chapter is supplemented with practical examples and well-designed exercises with worked solutions.This series of books discusses all the different aspects of digital electronics, following a descriptive approach combined with a gradual, detailed, and comprehensive presentation of basic concepts. The principles of combinational and sequential logic are presented, as well as the underlying techniques for the analysis and design of digital circuits. The analysis and design of digital circuits with increasing complexity is facilitated by the use of abstractions at the circuit and architecture levels.
This work consists of three volumes devoted to the following subjects:
combinational logic circuits;
sequential and arithmetic logic circuits;
finite state machines.
A progressive approach has been chosen and the chapters are relatively independent of each other. To help master the subject matter and put into practice the different concepts and techniques, topics are complemented by a selection of exercises with solutions.This second of three volumes focuses on sequential and arithmetic logic circuits. It covers various aspects related to the following topics: latch and flip-flop; binary counters; shift registers; arithmetic and logic circuits; digital integrated circuit technology; semiconductor memory; programmable logic circuits. The logic state of the output of a sequential logic circuit can depend, at any given time, on the inputs but also on the previous logic state of the outputs. Depending on whether a clock signal is used to synchronize the output state change or not, a sequential circuit is said to be synchronous or asynchronous. Arithmetic circuits can be used to perform addition, subtraction, multiplication and division operations on digital data.
Along with the two accompanying volumes, this book is an indispensable tool for students at a bachelors or masters level seeking to improve their understanding of digital electronics, and is detailed enough to serve as a reference for electronic, automation and computer engineers.Preface.
