Digital Building Blocks

Chapter 5 covers other combinational and sequential building blocks such as adders, multipliers, and memories.

Keywords

arithmetic circuits; logic arrays; memory arrays; numbers systems

5.1 Introduction

Up to this point, we have examined the design of combinational and sequential circuits using Boolean equations, schematics, and HDLs. This chapter introduces more elaborate combinational and sequential building blocks used in digital systems. These blocks include arithmetic circuits, counters, shift registers, memory arrays, and logic arrays. These ...
