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
 
The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...
I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
