In the world of technology, progress happens so fast that it is almost impossible to find a\u00a0good and up-to-date source for digital design. That’s why I am so excited that I found Digital Fundamentals, (the 11th edition) by Floyd.<\/p>\n

Digital Fundamentals by Thomas L. Floyd.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Floyd offers an incredibly comprehensive look into the fundamentals of digital design. He covers from the very basic\u00a0concepts of logic levels and basic logic functions to the more advanced data processing and control. Not only does Digital Fundamentals cover theoretical concepts, but it also provides examples, problems, and\u00a0applications for\u00a0the most current technologies. He goes so far into application that there are even large sections on troubleshooting.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>
A problem that\u00a0uses Multisim to demonstrate logic minimization, a basic concept in digital design.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The projects and tutorials cover a wide range of useful software, applying them to programmable hardware. Most notably, the tutorials cover simulation on MultiSim, programming via Xilinx ISE and tangible projects using the Basys 2, one of our Basys series\u00a0FPGA (field programmable gate array) boards.<\/p>\n
