AI Thread Summary
For those seeking a comprehensive undergraduate text on Sequential Logic, recommendations include Alan Clements' Principles of Computer Hardware and Floyd's 10th edition of Digital Fundamentals. The focus is on understanding logic gate-level techniques relevant to simple embedded systems, such as robotic sensors and computer/sensor interfaces. It's emphasized that a solid grasp of sequential logic is crucial before advancing to hardware programming with tools like VHDL/Verilog and CPLA hardware, specifically the Xilinx Cool-runner II. The discussion highlights the importance of rigorous study to strengthen foundational knowledge in sequential logic.

Hi, I have been through Alan Clements' Principles of Computer Hardware along with some online texts. I would like to purchase a comprehensive text on Sequential Logic at the undergraduate level. Having never studied this topic formally at university, I'm not sure how to discriminate between a good and bad book. Any recommendations?
 
My goals mostly involve simple embedded systems, such as robotic sensors and computer/sensor interfaces. I would like to learn techniques at the logic gate level for these purposes and get into CPLA hardware programming (like the Xilinx Cool-runner II). I know sequential logic and VHDL/Verilog are different things, but I feel like I have a weakness with sequential logic I need to address through rigorous study (before I jump into VHDL).
 
Try Floyd 10th edition digital fundamentals
 
For the following four books, has anyone used them in a course or for self study? Compiler Construction Principles and Practice 1st Edition by Kenneth C Louden Programming Languages Principles and Practices 3rd Edition by Kenneth C Louden, and Kenneth A Lambert Programming Languages 2nd Edition by Allen B Tucker, Robert E Noonan Concepts of Programming Languages 9th Edition by Robert W Sebesta If yes to either, can you share your opinions about your personal experience using them. I...
Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
