Introduction to Digital Systems Design

by Giuliano Donzellini, Luca Oneto, Domenico Ponta

This book has been designed for a first course on digital design for engineering and computer science students. It offers an extensive introduction on fundamental theories, from Boolean algebra and binary arithmetic to sequential networks and finite state machines, together with the essential tools to design and simulate systems composed of a controller and a datapath. The numerous worked examples and solved exercises allow a better understanding and more effective learning. All of the examples and exercises can be run on the Deeds software, freely available online on a webpage developed and maintained by the authors. Thanks to the learning-by-doing approach and the plentiful examples, no prior knowledge in electronics of programming is required. Moreover, the book can be adapted to different level of education, with different targets and depth, be used for self-study, and even independently from the simulator. The book draws on the authors’ extensive experience in teaching and developing learning materials.

Excellent book covering the most important topics in Digital systems.
The most important thing is that it is accompanied by a special simulator "Deeds Logic" that helps students to design and test any idea in the book and any new logic design. Also you can upload any design to some popular FPGA card like Altera DE0 that I have in my University.
