Logic Variables, Logic Formulas, Karnaugh Maps, Reduced Karnaugh Maps -- Tautologies, Propositional Logic -- Canonical and Shegalkin Normal Forms, Minimising Logic Functions, Composition of Circuits -- Theory of Latches, Automata Models, Asynchronous Sequential Circuits, Verifying a Sequential Design -- FBD language for PLC programming.
The 2nd edition has been thoroughly revised and is intended as a wakeup call in the stagnant and dormant field of switching algebra and logic circuit design. It presents the material in a concise but thorough way. The topics selected are an in-depth presentation of switching algebra, a theory of memory circuits (sometimes called flop flops), a new approach to asynchronous circuits, and a newly added part presenting a unique programming technique (or language) for programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Be ready for the unorthodox and controversial. Presents fundamentally new methods for circuit design; Covers combinational circuits, latches and asynchronous circuits; Includes a unique programming technique for PLCs.
