Bridging the gap between logical design and VLSI design, this text has been revised to reflect recent computer engineering developments. It includes new information on CAD tools, PLAs, NMOs and standard-cell CMOS methodologies.
Tied to no particular set of computer-aided logic design tools, it advocates the new emphasis in VLSI design. Includes support of layout synthesis from description in a register transfer level language as well as from design capture. Contains a detailed introduction to Boolean algebra, Karnaugh maps and sequential circuits. In this edition discussion of combination logic has been extended; switching circuits updated; a comprehensive treatment of test generation for VLSI included.
