Updated with modern coverage, a streamlined presentation, and an excellent CD-ROM, this fifth edition achieves a balance between theory and application. Author Charles H. Roth, Jr. carefully presents the theory that is necessary for understanding the fundamental concepts of logic design while not overwhelming students with the mathematics of switching theory. Divided into 20 easy-to-grasp study units, the book covers such fundamental concepts as Boolean algebra, logic gates design, flip-flops, and state machines. By combining flip-flops with networks of logic gates, students will learn to design counters, adders, sequence detectors, and simple digital systems. After covering the basics, this text presents modern design techniques using programmable logic devices and the VHDL hardware description language.

Review
The material is very well presented. Starting with a study guide in each chapter helps students reevaluate whether they have learned the material. Programmed exercises guide the student in solving the initial problems in each chapter.
I like the way that VHDL is introduced at Chapter 10 (just after the combinational logic) and Chapter 17 (just before the sequential logic). For a first course in logic design, I like the briefness of the chapters. It places the presented materials in focus. --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

About the Author
Charles H. Roth received his B.E.E., M.S., and PhD degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Minnesota, M.I.T., and Stanford. He joined the faculty of the University of Texas at Austin in 1961, where he is currently Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Dr. Roth received the General Dynamics award for outstanding engineering teaching after he developed a self-paced course in logic design. His teaching and research interests include digital systems theory and design, microcomputer systems, and VHDL applications. He is the author of four textbooks including DIGITAL SYSTEMS DESIGN USING VHDL (Brooks/Cole 1998).

New Fifth Edition correct flaws,

This review is from: Fundamentals of Logic Design (Hardcover)
I reviewed the Fourth edition before, but have now revised that review to reflect major improvements in the new edition.
This is a learn-by-example style of text. Not only are examples given in the body text, but the first end-of-chapter problems are worked out in detail, and solutions are given for many more. I consider this a fine book for enriching the material I'm presenting in class. The old edition was dated and promoted design styles that are not advised. The new edition fixes those problems and this is now a great text. Three chapters introducing VHDL have been added after the chapter sequences on combinatorial logic, sequential logic, and digital systems. Thus VHDL doesn't intefere with the teaching of the fundamentals, but serves to enhance by providing the modern practices. The chapters are not thorough enough for practicing design in VHDL but are a good introduction. Relatively modern components are now used in the practical examples. I don't think anyone will mind that the chapters on asynchronous state machine design are gone. The new text comes with a CD containing a simple VHDL simulator (which I have not tested), SimuAid (also untested) and Professor Roth's venerable LogicAid -- a combinatorial logic synthesis tool which if nothing else provides a means that students can check their hand-made designs. People using this text in self-study would probably find the CD paricularly useful, although it has little value in school settings where professional software tools are available.

very nice,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fundamentals of Logic Design (Hardcover)
I had a horrible prof. and managed to learn logic design on my own. This book made it possible. Very clear explanations, plenty of theory and design examples plus some great problems. I recommend this title, great for self study or as a class supplement.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fundamentals of Logic Design (with CD-ROM) (Hardcover)
I purchased Fundamentals of Logic Design to use in conjunction with a Digital Logic class. This book assumes that you understand every concept you encounter before moving to the next section. Near the end of the text, it is assumed that you are taking in outside knowledge while using this text.
Many of the images used throughout the text are difficult to read - even in conjunction with the captions.
