Fundamentals of Logic Design

Rate this book
Updated with modern coverage, a streamlined presentation, and an excellent CD-ROM, this fifth edition achieves a balance between theory and application. Author Charles H. Roth, Jr. carefully presents the theory that is necessary for understanding the fundamental concepts of logic design while not overwhelming students with the mathematics of switching theory. Divided into 20 easy-to-grasp study units, the book covers such fundamental concepts as Boolean algebra, logic gates design, flip-flops, and state machines. By combining flip-flops with networks of logic gates, students will learn to design counters, adders, sequence detectors, and simple digital systems. After covering the basics, this text presents modern design techniques using programmable logic devices and the VHDL hardware description language.

Frustrating textbook. They do not teach you the concrete principles of Digital Logic up front in a coherent step-by-step process. Instead, the author chose to throw a barrage of unnecessarily dense paragraphs to describe context-free examples one after the other. Extremely difficult to learn from, I am very glad I didn't actually have to waste money on this textbook.

A book developed with the help and input of students? Why does this seem innovative instead of commonplace? Most favorite book of my undergraduate career.

One of the best textbooks I've read, regardless of subject. Exceptionally clear explanations made sure I could follow every word.

Worst experience ever. I've never ever hated anything like this. Dry. The lecturer is even worse than the book. #engineersdonthavealife
