Description:
Fundamentals of Digital Logic with VHDL Design is intended for an introductory course in digital logic design, which is a basic course in most electrical and computer engineering programs. A successful designer of digital logic circuits needs a good understanding of the classical methods of logic design and a firm grasp of the modern design approach that relies on computer-aided design (CAD) tools. The main goals of this book are to teach students the fundamental concepts of classical manual digital design and to illustrate clearly the way in which digital circuits are designed today, using CAD tools.
This title will be available in Connect. Its Connect shell consists of the MHeBook, Tegrity, Proctorio, and the ability to add your own questions. It does not have SmartBook or assessment in the question banks.
Brief description: Zvonko Vranesic received his B.A.Sc., M.A.Sc., and Ph.D. degrees, all in Electrical Engineering, from the University of Toronto. From 1963 to 1965 he worked as a design engineer with the Northern Electric Co. Ltd. in Bramalea, Ontario. In 1968 he joined the University of Toronto, where he is now a Professor Emeritus in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering. During the 1978-79 academic year, he was a Senior Visitor at the University of Cambridge, England, and during 1984-85 he was at the University of Paris, 6. From 1995 to 2000 he served as Chair of the Division of Engineering Science at the University of Toronto.
He is a coauthor of four other books: Computer Organization and Embedded Systems, 6th ed.; Fundamentals of Digital Logic with Verilog Design, 3rd ed.; Microcomputer Structures; and Field-Programmable Gate Arrays. In 1990, he received the Wighton Fellowship for "innovative and distinctive contributions to undergraduate laboratory instruction." In 2004, he received the Faculty Teaching Award from the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering at the University of Toronto. He has represented Canada in numerous chess competitions. He holds the title of International Master.
