* Broad presentation of supporting analog circuit principles
* Building complete systems with basic design elements and the latest technologies

Complete Digital Design will teach you how to develop a customized set of requirements for any design problem — and then research and evaluate available components and technologies to solve it. Perfect for the professional, the student, and the hobbyist alike, this is one volume you need handy at all times!

Review
For engineers, students, and technicians or hobbyists concerned with real-world implementation of complete digital systems – whether they involve a desktop computer or a car's engine controller – electrical engineer Balch covers underlying concepts as well as the practicalities of design. He begins with digital logic and microprocessor fundamentals and then proceeds to more advanced topics (logic design methodologies, high-performance memory and networking technologies, and programmable logic devices); critical analog support circuitry; and design issues such as clock distribution, power regulation, signal integrity, design for test, and circuit fabrication techniques.
