Preface
The omnipresence of electronic devices in everyday life is accompanied by the size reduction and the ever-increasing complexity of digital circuits. This comprehensive and easy-to-understand work deals with basic principles of digital electronics and allows the reader to grasp the subtleties of digital circuits from logic gates to finite-state machines. It presents all the aspects related to combinational logic and sequential logic. It introduces techniques to establish in a simple and concise manner logic equations, as well as methods for the analysis and design of digital circuits. Emphasis has been especially laid on design approaches that can be used to ensure a reliable operation of finite-state machines. Various programmable logic circuit structures and their applications are also presented. Each chapter includes practical examples and well-designed exercises with worked solutions.
This series of books discusses all the different aspects of digital electronics, following a descriptive approach combined with a gradual, detailed, and comprehensive presentation of basic concepts.

This work consists of three volumes devoted to the following subjects:
1) combinational logic circuits;
2) sequential and arithmetic logic circuits;
3) finite state machines.
A progressive approach has been chosen and the chapters are relatively independent of each other. To help master the subject matter and put into practice the different concepts and techniques, topics are complemented by a selection of exercises with solutions.
