CONTENTS NOTE
Text of Note
Pragmatic Logic presents the analysis and design of digital logic systems. The author begins with a brief study of binary and hexadecimal number systems and then looks at the basics of Boolean algebra. The study of logic circuits is divided into two parts, combinational logic, which has no memory, and sequential logic, which does. Numerous examples highlight the principles being presented. The text ends with an introduction to digital logic design using Verilog, a hardware description language. The chapter on Verilog can be studied along with the other chapters in the text. After the reader has completed combinational logic in Chapters 4 and 5, sections 9.1 and 9.2 would be appropriate. Similarly, the rest of Chapter 9 could be studied after completing sequential logic in Chapters 6 and 7. This short lecture book will be of use to students at any level of electrical or computer engineering and for practicing engineers or scientists in any field looking for a practical and applied introduction to digital logic. The author's "pragmatic" and applied style gives a unique and helpful "non-idealist, practical, opinionate" introduction to digital systems.

1. Designing digital systems: where are we going? -- 2. Numbers and arithmetic: Counting 101 -- 3. Boolean algebra: the formal stuff -- 4. Combinational logic: no time like the present -- 5. Building blocks: bigger stuff -- 6. Sequential circuits: now you have time! -- 7. Counters and registers: more building blocks -- 8. Design a microwave: well, the controller -- 9. Large systems: do "real" designers do Boolean?
