Both a primer and comprehensive introduction to the endlessly inventive world of digital design, the book leverages the enhanced effectiveness of diagrams and figures, to guide the student from a ground zero of understanding, through the digital building blocks of clocked registers, counters, shift-registers, and state machines via the powerful VHDL programming language. Colorful and accessible, the pages come alive with visual insights into the technology powering every aspect of our lives, yet which remains a deep mystery to most of us.
