The university textbook Digital Design with CPLD Applications and VHDL by Robert Dueck, published by Delmar/Thomson Learning, uses programmable logic as the primary vehicle for instructing readers in the principles of digital design, and maintains its cutting-edge status by updating to Altera’s newest Quartus® II software, the most current method of digital design implementation. This Windows-based software allows users to design, test, and program CPLD designs in text-based (VHDL) and graphic (schematic entry) formats.
CPLDs are introduced early in the teaching sequence, laying a solid foundation for more advanced principles without neglecting underlying digital fundamentals such as Boolean algebra, logic minimization, and combinational and sequential circuits. VHDL and Quartus II applications are provided throughout.
The CD-ROM includes the Quartus II Web Edition software and all labs included with the book.
