Emphasizing design principles that can be applied to practical applications, this self-contained tutorial employs the Verilog hardware description language (HDL) to explain the analysis and synthesis of combinational and sequential logic circuits. The examples are first designed using traditional design techniques, and then implemented using Verilog, allowing readers to compare design methodologies. Chapter design problems are included. The book is intended as a text for a two-course sequence on combinational and sequential logic, for undergraduate students in electrical engineering, computer engineering, and computer science; for graduate students who require a non-credit course in logic design; and for practicing electrical engineers, computer engineers, and computer scientists.
