This digital laboratory manual allows introductory digital electronics students to use the Xilinx software early in the course. Features of the manual include a step-by-step introduction to Xilinx software, and more than one experiment for most topical areas to allow for greater flexibility in the laboratory environment. Following a short set of labs using TTL chips which allow students to build a few simple circuits immediately, the bulk of the book consists of CPLD labs on basic gates, Boolean algebra, combinatorial circuits, flip-flops, and counters and registers. Appendices include data for the XC 95108 and documentation for two target boards. The authors are affiliated with DeVry Institute. There is no subject index. Annotation c.
