کتاب Fundamentals of Digital Logic اثر Brown و Vranesic

Fundamentals of Digital Logic With Verilog Designteaches the basic design techniques for logic circuits. It emphasizes the synthesis of circuits and explains how circuits are implemented in real chips. Fundamental concepts are illustrated by using small examples.Use of CAD software is well integrated into the book. The CAD software provides automatic mapping of a design written in Verilog into Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and Complex Programmable Logic Devices (CPLDs). Students will be able to try, firsthand, the book’s Verilog examples (over 140) and homework problems.

Engineers use Quartus CAD for designing, simulating, testing and implementing logic circuits. The version included with this text supports all major features of the commercial product and comes with a compiler for the IEEE standard Verilog language.

• Students will be able to:
• enter a design into the CAD system
• compile the design into a selected device
• simulate the functionality and timing of the resulting circuit
• implement the designs in actual devices (using the school’s laboratory facilities)
• Verilog is a complex language, so it is introduced gradually in the book. Each Verilog feature is presented as it becomes pertinent for the circuits being discussed. To teach the student to use the Quartus CAD, the book includes three tutorials.

Zvonko Vranesic received his B.A.Sc., M.A.Sc., and Ph.D. degrees, all in Electrical Engineering, from the University of Toronto. From 1963 to 1965 he worked as a design engineer with the Northern Electric Co. Ltd. in Bramalea, Ontario. In 1968 he joined the University of Toronto, where he is now a Professor Emeritus in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering.

Stephen Brown received the Ph.D. and M.A.Sc. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Toronto, and his B.A.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of New Brunswick. He joined the University of Toronto faculty in 1992, where he is now a Professor in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering. He is also the Director of FPGA Academic Programs for Intel Corporation.
