Each Essence of Engineering book contains practical case studies, worked examples and self-test questions covering both theory and practice.

A concise, complete introduction to digital logic design.
-- Covers programmable logic devices.
-- State diagrams-including diagrams with transition expressions.
-- Introduces fault testing, especially path sensitization.

This is a complete, practical introduction to the fundamentals of digital logic design. It begins with an introduction to the application domains of digital systems. Next, it describes basic gates, the Boolean algebra underpinning them; combinatorial circuit design, flip-flops, sequential circuit design and programmable logic devices. The final chapter covers logic fault testing to detect faults that may have occurred during manufacture. Extensive design examples, case studies and self-test questions are also provided.
