I'm a computer engineer and when I was a freshman in college this was our introductory book. This book covers the aspects of digital design and essential components very well. Not only is the coverage great in this respect, but is very readable. I'm a tech head and, to be honest, I loved reading this book. No qualms about the authors' writing styles. The only issue I had with this book was with the HDL examples. The HDL examples were code with virtually no explanation. In my opinion, this is very useless considering it is an introductory book into the world of digital design and computer engineering. HDL is definitely not this books strong point, but for the fundamental concepts of digital design, it's a great book. I keep my copy on my bookshelf and don't plan on selling it.

بهترین مرجع دیجیتالی بود ک خوندم، علت این نمره دهی این بود فصل ۴اش رو یخورده بد نوشته بود! تو تمریناشم یکی دوتا ایراد داغون دیدم

Out dated information with a lot of conflict
This book should be refined then re published again.

Indeed a very easy to read book requiring little to none knowledge on basic algebra and computer science. Probably the best way to be introduced into digital design. Can also be picked up again after a while without a problem. I'd suggest the first three chapter should be read before starting to jump from chapter to chapter depending on what you're interested.

My 5th semester textbook was the Greek translation of the 2nd edition.

I still attribute my good (excellent? solid? that's for other people to judge) grounding and skills on digital logic and circuit design on this book. Still on the bookshelves next to my (home) office desk 25 years later. Not to my mention we actually have two copies in our household.

we studied the fourth edition from the book..The contents were really easy and cool but our instructor is always making things hard..His exams were difficult..
we just have completed the first 6 chapters.

It's a very powerful book in digital design and using logical gates to build small circuits such as counters and registers. It has some interesting problems and some tricks which was very interesting.

I would probably appreciate this book more if I attended class more...

Wonderful book on the principles of digital electronics and digital circuit design. No wonder it has become the 'Standard Introductory Book' for undergrad schools :)

Clear and into the point. Helped me pass Digital Design course (1st semester) and understand a lot about logic gates, sequential and combinational logic circuits.

منبعی خوب برای درسی ناخوب و نازیبا. به هر حال هرکی توی مهندسی کامپیوتر پا میذاره محکوم به تجربه کردن مدار منطقی یا طراحی دیجیتاله و منبع اصلی این درس هم کتابی نیست جز دیجیتال دیزاین موریس مانو

Bilgisayar çalışma ve hesaplama mantığını çok güzel anlatan bir eser. İkinci sınıfta ders kitabı olarak okuduğumuz bu kitabın sonunda mini bir işlemci tasarlamaya kadar gelmişti konu.

کتاب شامل مثال های خوبی است که باعث جا افتادن مطلب در ذهن خواننده میشود.
سختی مطالب شیب ملایم و قابل تحملی دارد.
در صورت اشتراک مباحث،جهت تدریس قابل تحمل است.

تنها ترجمه ای که دیدم ترجمه سپیدنام بود که نسبتا "بد" بود.

The handbook for basic digital circuits and logic. I dont remember it getting down to the transistor level but oh well.. thats when the hard part comes in. Enjoy it while it lasts.
