This was written as an introductory textbook on digital logic design and the SystemVerilog language. The structure of the book makes it useful as both a way to learn digital design, a way to learn SystemVerilog, or a way to learn both. It is targeted at University level courses or at practicing engineers who desire to learn these topics.This book (and its previous versions) have been used for nearly 20 years at Brigham Young University and other places as a textbook for courses on digital systems design.The text chapters are listed below. The chapters are short and concise, typically covering one lecture's worth of material (in the case of courses at Brigham Young University). Roughly 1/3 of the chapters focus on SystemVerilog, each one targeted at teaching how to implement the immediately preceding chapters' digital circuit design concepts using HDL. Additionally, a full chapter on SystemVerilog testbenches for verifying designs is included.The book starts with Boolean Logic and combinational logic design and then moves on to storage elements (flips flops) and sequential circuit design and finite state machine-based design. As can be seen, the SystemVerilog chapters are intermixed through the text but could be covered later than they appear.IntroductionNumber Systems and Binary EncodingsSigned Number Representations, Negation, and ArithmeticBoolean Algebra and Truth TablesLogic GatesBoolean Algebra - Part IIGates - Part IIAn Introduction to Gate-Level Design Using SystemVerilogGate-Level ArithmeticHigher Level Building Blocks: MultiplexersContinuing on With SystemVerilog - Hierarchical Design, Constants, and Multi-Bit SignalsKarnaugh Maps - Optional MaterialGate Delays and Timing in Combinational CircuitsDataflow SystemVerilogLatches and Flip FlopsRegisters and RTL-Based DesignBehavioral SystemVerilog for RegistersBehavioral SystemVerilog for Combinational LogicMemoriesImplementation of Simple Sequential Circuits: IFL, OFL, and TimingState GraphsFinite State MachinesState Machine Design Using SystemVerilogHandling Asynchronous Inputs and Generating Glitch-Free OutputsField Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) - An IntroductionCase Study - Debouncing Switches and Detecting EdgesWriting Testbenches in SystemVerilogCase Study: The Design of a UARTTri-State Drivers and BusesSystemVerilog vs. VerilogAdvanced TimingClock SkewMetastabilityClock Domain CrossingParallelism and Pipelining to Increase Circuit Performance Read more

Free Range VHDL is a fundamental guide to develop the skills necessary to write powerful VHDL code. The approach taken by this book is to provide only what you need to know to get up and running quickly in VHDL.As with all learning, once you have obtained and applied some useful information, it is much easier to build on what you know as opposed to continually adding information that is not directly applicable to the subjects at hand.VHDL is an extremely powerful tool. The more you understand as you work and study with VHDL, the more it will enhance your learning experience independently of your particular area of interest. The concept of using software to design hardware that is controlled by software will definitely provide you with endless hours of contemplation.More info: https://github.com/fabriziotappero/Free-Range-VHDL-book Read more

Programmable Logic Controllers begins by covering the hardware and architecture of the Allen-Bradley Small Logic Controller (SLC 500) series of PLCs. I/O devices and motor controls are also covered as well as commonly used number systems, such as binary and BCD. PLC programming is introduced by reviewing and creating examples of relay ladder diagrams. In the following chapter, students are given guidelines and examples for creating PLC ladder diagrams based on relay ladder diagrams. Throughout the rest of the textbook, the most common PLC functions are presented, and practical examples are given based on the Allen-Bradley RSLogix programming software.The Laboratory Manual provides LogixPro activities that help students practice and hone their PLC programming skills. Included in the textbook is a CD-ROM containing LogixPro simulation software. The software allows students to practice and develop their programming skills when and where they want. LogixPro is not a replacement for RSLogix, nor is there support for file exchange or communication with actual Allen-Bradley products. LogixPro provides a complete software-based training solution, eliminating the need for expensive PLC equipment. Read more

This self-study guide came about as the result of the popularity of my textbook, Verilog Designer's Library.
