Shimon P. Vingron: Logic Circuit Design, Gebunden

Blurb

This 3rd edition emphasizes applications by introducing three new chapters which guide readers meticulously through the design of feedback latches, the design of latches by composition, and an instructive, higher-order asynchronous circuit problem. This book serves as a wakeup call in the stagnant and dormant field of switching algebra and logic circuit design. It presents the material in a concise but thorough way. The topics presented are an in-depth presentation of switching algebra, a theory of elementary memory circuits (emphasizing fail-safe designs), compositional design of (combinational and memory) circuits, a new tree-approach to specifying and evaluating asynchronous sequential circuits, and finally an excursion into the field of industrial automation by presenting a unique programming technique (or language) for programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Be ready for the unorthodox and controversial.
