"Digital Design: An Embedded Systems Approach Using VHDL takes an up-to-date and modern approach by teaching digital design in a systems design context. Hardware description language (HDL)-based design and verification is emphasized, with VHDL examples used extensively throughout. By treating digital logic as part of embedded systems, Digital Design provides an understanding of the hardware needed in the analysis and design of systems comprising both hardware and software components. This book provides a solid foundation in digital design for students in computer engineering, electrical engineering and computer science courses."--BOOK JACKET.
