Welcome to the word of digital design.Perhaps you're a com-puter science student who knows all about computer software and programming,but you're still trying out how all that fancy hardware enineering student who already knowa some-thing about analog electronics and circuit design,but you wouldn't know a bit if it bit you.No matter.Starting from a fairly basic level,this book will show to design digital circuits and subsystems.
