Fundamentals of Digital Logic with Verilog Design

by Stephen D. Brown

Fundamentals of Digital Logic With Verilog Design is intended for an introductory course in digital logic design. The main goals are (1) to teach students the fundamental concepts in classical manual digital design and (2) illlustrate clearly the way in which digital circuits are designed today using CAD tools.Use of CAD software is well integrated into the book. Some excellent CAD tools are available free of charge. For example the Altera Corporation has its Quartus II CAD software used for implementing designs in programmable logic devices such as FPGAs. The Web Edition of the Quartus II software can be downloaded from Altera's website and used free of charge without the need to obtain a license. Previous editions of this book a set of tutorials for using Quartus II software was provided in the appendices. These tutorials can now be found on the Author's website. Another set of useful tutorials about Quartus II can be found on Altera's University Program website which is located at www.altera.com/education/univ

Great book! I failed this course!
Dropping out of engineering now :)

Mostly a good book but it really annoyed me that the texts and images are out of order; he frequently references things that only show up like two pages forwards and it makes the reading experience awful
fuck this book

An amazing book on the field of Digital Logic. My first insight to the Digital World.An easy & interesting book,which makes the readers interested in this subject.

Brown and Vranesic provide a good introduction to digital logic and Verilog - however, the lack of worked examples and detailed solutions at times make this textbook difficult to study from.
