This new book presents digital concepts incrementally and is a refreshing change from the texts that present principles too quickly and all at the same time. A perfect complement to recent technological advances resulting in affordable CPLD simulators, this book offers users valuable and applied exposure to CPLD and VHDL environments. Care has been taken to ensure that digital concepts are presented in a systematic and progressive format so that readers can gain confidence before being introduced to more advanced topics. CPLD technology minimizes the wiring and engineering complexities so that users are freed up to design and test advanced digital systems in shorter periods of time.
