File Chapter 2 - Boolean Algebra and Logic Gates

Chapter 2 introduces the basic postulates of Boolean algebra and shows the correlation between Boolean expressions and their corresponding logic diagrams. All possible logic operations for two variables are investigated, and the most useful logic gates used in the design of digital systems are identified. This chapter also introduces basic CMOS logic gates.

File Chapter-4-Combinational Logic

This chapter outlines the formal procedures for the analysis and design of combinational circuits. Some basic components used in the design of digital systems, such as adders and code converters, are introduced as design examples. Frequently used digital logic functions such as parallel adders and subtractors, decoders, encoders, and multiplexers are explained, and their use in the design of combinational circuits is illustrated. HDL examples are given in gate‐level, dataflow, and behavioral models to show the alternative ways available for describing combinational circuits in Verilog HDL. The procedure for writing a simple test bench to provide stimulus to an HDL design is presented.

File Chapter 5 Synchronous Sequential Logic

This chapter outlines the formal procedures for analysing and designing clocked (synchronous) sequential circuits. The gate structure of several types of flip‐flops is presented together with a discussion on the difference between level and edge triggering. Specific examples are used to show the derivation of the state table and state diagram when analysing a sequential circuit. A number of design examples are presented with emphasis on sequential circuits that use D‐type flip‐flops.
