Digital Fundamentals, Global Edition, 11th edition

For courses in digital circuits, digital systems (including design and analysis), digital fundamentals, digital logic, and introduction to computers Digital Fundamentals, Eleventh Edition, continues its long and respected tradition of offering students a strong foundation in the core fundamentals of digital technology, providing basic concepts reinforced by plentiful illustrations, examples, exercises, and applications. The text’s teaching and learning resources include an Instructor’s Manual, PowerPoint lecture slides, and Test Bank, as well as study resources for students. Teaching and Learning Experience:

• Provides a strong foundation in the core fundamentals of digital technology.
• Covers basic concepts reinforced by plentiful illustrations, examples, exercises, and applications.
• Offers a full-color design, effective chapter organization, and clear writing that help students grasp complex concepts.

Provides a strong foundation in the core fundamentals of digital technology:

• Revised and Improved! Coverage of key topics has been revised and improved, while obsolete devices have been deleted.
• New! A new boxed feature, Implementation, shows how various logic functions can be implemented using fixed-function devices or by writing a VHDL program for PLD implementation.
• Added! Boolean simplification coverage now includes the Quine-McClusky method, and the Expresso method is introduced.
• Added! A discussion of Moore and Mealy state machines has been added.
• Improved! The chapter on programmable logic has been modified and improved.
• Added! A discussion of memory hierarchy has been added.
• New! A new chapter on data transmission has been added and includes extensive coverage of standard busses.
• Revised! The chapter on computers has been completely revised and is now entitled Data Processing.
• Core fundamentals are presented without being intermingled with advanced or peripheral topics.
• InfoNotes throughout the text’s margins provide interesting information in a condensed form.
• Hands-On Tips interspersed throughout provide useful and practical information.
• The operation and application of test instruments, including the oscilloscope, logic analyser, function generator, and DMM, are covered.

Covers basic concepts reinforced by plentiful illustrations, examples, exercises, and applications:

• Revised and Updated! The Applied Logic features (formerly System Applications) have been revised and new topics added. Also, VHDL code for PLD implementation is shown.
• Updated! All the Multisim circuit files have been updated to the latest version.
• An abundance of worked-out examples help illustrate and clarify basic concepts or specific procedures. Each example ends with a Related Problem that reinforces or expands on the example by requiring the student to work through a problem similar to the example.
• An Applied Logic feature at the end of many chapters asks students to apply the concepts and procedures covered in the chapter through a “real-world” system where analysis, troubleshooting, design, and simulation are used.
• Extensive problem sets at the end of each chapter include Troubleshooting, Applied Logic, Design, and Multisim Troubleshooting Practice.
• Troubleshooting sections in many chapters relate to the topics covered in the chapter and emphasises troubleshooting techniques and the use of test instruments and circuit simulation.

Offers a full-colour design, effective chapter organisation, and clear writing that help students grasp complex concepts:

• New! A new page layout and design provides better visual appearance and ease of use.
• Section Opener: Each section in a chapter begins with a brief introduction that includes a general overview and section objectives.
• Section Check-up exercises: Each section ends with a review consisting of questions or exercises that emphasise the main concepts presented in the section. Answers to the Sec
