Product Description For sophomore courses on digital design in an Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science department.
Digital Design, fourth edition is a modern update of the classic authoritative text on digital design. This book teaches the basic concepts of digital design in a clear, accessible manner. The book presents the basic tools for the design of digital circuits and provides procedures suitable for a variety of digital applications. | ||

Solid book, not for self-taught This book is an excellent companion to computer science/computer engineering classes. It tends to be fairly short and concise for almost every topic, which is why I would only recommend this book to those who really need it (required). Without guidance the concepts of digital design, especially as presented here, will no doubt escape people quickly. There is a couple errors in the book, which can be expected when they have to include data from external sources such as block diagrams for integrated circuits. If you need this book for a college CS/CE/EE intro course no doubt the book, you, and your professor will have alot of fun with some basic computer engineering and labs, BUT, as a self-study or reference, I do not recommend, at all. I have used this book for a computer science course at MN State, and while everything has gone very smoothly, it's only because collaboration with a professor has smoothed out the bumps and even filled in minor gaps or shown alternate methods. | ||
Garbage This book is one of the worst books I have seen. It does not help at all but is one of the required books that you have to get because the homework problems are in it. Book will not help you much. | ||
It's a good book for beginners in Digital Design It's a good book for beginners in Digital Design It gives a clear guidelines to understand the Combinational and Sequential Logics. | ||
Better than his other one. In first year engineering at Simon Fraser University, many of my classmates and I absolutely hated Mano's other text, "Logic and Computer Design Fundamentals (2nd ed. updated)". However since I have picked this text up I have found Mano to be much easier to read, but that could be because I have adjusted to the material and his writing style. Unfortunately there are no solutions to any of the exercises in this text, only selected answers. His other text has some solutions posted on the companion site (http://www.prenhall.com/mano/), you may be able to use them to learn from with this text as well. And there are little mistakes in the text that may make things difficult to understand at first, but I did find a decent errata on the web (http://www.ece.uvic.ca/~amirali/courses/CENG290/textmistakes.html). I don't know how good the text is for self-teaching, but it isn't bad for brushing up on the basics after being away from digital design for a couple years. | ||
Too many errors This was the text book used in one of my computer science courses. Trying to learn from this book was very difficult because there are many errors in the diagrams. Considering that diagrams are a vital part of a book on computer circuitry I would have expected the diagrams to be accurate and replete with detailed explanations. This book is in its third edition yet it somehow manages to still have errors, this is inexcusable; were it the first edition I may have been more lenient. If you look closely you will find errors in many of the diagrams, sometimes two or more errors on the same page. Definitely not worth the $100+. | ||
