This bestseller provides thorough, up-to-date coverage of digital fundamentals, from basic concepts to microprocessors, programmable logic, and digital signal processing. Its vivid full-color format is packed with photographs, illustrations, tables, charts, and graphs; valuable visual aids that today's user needs to understand this often complex computer application. This clearly-written, easily accessible book covers the fundamentals of digital processing, and includes such topics as number systems, operations, and codes; logic gates; boolean algebra; combinational logic and programming with ABEL; flip-flops, counters, and shift registers; memory and storage; digital signal processing, and an introduction to microprocessors, computers, and buses. For those in the computer industry where a knowledge of introductory digital programming is essential.
This best selling book is well known for effectively combining a clear, highly-accurate explanation of theory--supported by superior exercises, examples, and illustrations--and an emphasis on troubleshooting and applications using actual devices. The Sixth Edition features stronger coverage of key areas (including two new chapters on Programmable Logic Devices), new exercises throughout the text, and an improved pedagogical framework. It includes two specially designed sections which link principles to real world practices--a Digital System Application section in every chapter, and practical Workbench activities throughout the text. Plus, Digital Fundamentals, Sixth Edition features an exciting full color format which uses color to enhance the instructional value of photographs, illustrations, tables, charts, and graphs. Throughout the text's coverage, the use of mathematics is limited to only those concepts that are needed for understanding. Floyd's acclaimed troubleshooting emphasis, as always, provides students with the problem solving experience they need to step out of the classroom and into a job!
This is the eighth edition of Digital Fundamentals. As with previous editions, it provides comprehensive coverage in a clear, straightforward, and well-illustrated format. Many topics have been strengthened or enhanced, and numerous improvements can be found throughout the book. This edition further reflects the shift from fixed-function logic devices to programmable logic devices (PLDs) by introducing programmable logic in Chapter 1 and continuing with a complete section in many chapters devoted to the topic of PLDs. As before, the programming of PLDs using the ABEL hardware description language is covered in two chapters. A new chapter on digital signal processing has been added. Also, a new text design and layout enhance the text's appearance and usability.
You will probably find more topics in this text than you can cover in a single course. This range of topics provides the flexibility to accommodate a variety of program requirements. For example, some of the design-oriented or system application topics may not be appropriate in some courses. Other programs may not cover PLDs or ABEL, while some may not have time to discuss microprocessors or digital signal processing. Also, there are programs that may not need to delve into the details of "inside-the-chip" circuitry. These and other topics can be omitted or covered lightly without affecting the coverage of the fundamental topics. A background in transistor circuits is not a prerequisite for this textbook.
New Features and Improvements
* Programmable logic devices (PLDs) are covered early in the text, beginning with an introduction in Chapter 1.
* CPLDs and FPGAs are introduced.
* An entire chapter is devoted to digital signal processing.
* EWB and Multisim circuit files on CD-ROM simulate many of the logic circuits that are illustrated in the text. These are indicated by the CD logo.
* Multisim files in addition to the EWB files are now included for the troubleshooting problems at the end of most chapters. These are indicated by the CD logo.
* Coverage of specific fixed-function logic devices and specific PLDs is set apart graphically in the text.
* Margin notes provide information in a very condensed form.
* Key terms are listed in each chapter opener. Within the chapter, the key terms are highlighted in boldface color. Each key term is defined at the end of the chapter, as well as at the end of the book in the comprehensive glossary along with other glossary terms.
* Error detection and correction codes are covered in Appendix B.
* Answer reminders are used to remind the student where to find the answers to the various exercises and problems throughout each chapter.
