In this edition, author provides revised and updated information on AHPL. Two programs namely a functional level simulator and a hardware compiler have been added in this textbook to support AHPL. The language used in Chapters 11 and 12 to describe hardware is completely consistent with the AHPL of the previous edition. Chapter 9 has been expanded to provide more through coverage of various types of flip-flops. Chapter 3 and 4 provide the basic logical and algebraic basis for switching theory. Chapter 5 has been rewritten to reflect recent innovations in digital circuit design. The important topic of programmed logic arrays (PLAs) has been added to Chapter 8. The chapter on level mode analysis and synthesis has been improved and extended to include the edge-triggered D flip-flop.
