This book will teach students how to design digital logic circuits, specifically combinational and sequential circuits. Students will learn how to put these two types of circuits together to form dedicated and general-purpose microprocessors. This book is unique in that it combines the use of logic principles and the building of individual components to create data paths and control units, and finally the building of real dedicated custom microprocessors and general-purpose microprocessors. After understanding the material in the book, students will be able to design simple microprocessors and implement them in real hardware.
There are many books on computers, networks, and software engineering but none that integrate the three with applications. Integration is important because, increasingly, software dominates the performance, reliability, maintainability, and availability of complex computer and systems. Books on software engineering typically portray software as if it exists in a vacuum with no relationship to the wider system. This is wrong because a system is more than software. It is comprised of people, organizations, processes, hardware, and software. All of these components must be considered in an integrative fashion when designing systems. On the other hand, books on computers and networks do not demonstrate a deep understanding of the intricacies of developing software. In this book you will learn, for example, how to quantitatively analyze the performance, reliability, maintainability, and availability of computers, networks, and software in relation to the total system. Furthermore, you will learn how to evaluate and mitigate the risk of deploying integrated systems. You will learn how to apply many models dealing with the optimization of systems. Numerous quantitative examples are provided to help you understand and interpret model results. This book can be used as a first year graduate course in computer, network, and software engineering; as an on-the-job reference for computer, network, and software engineers; and as a reference for these disciplines.

This complete introduction to computer engineering includes the use of the microprocessor as a building block for digital logic design. The authors offer a top-down approach to designing digital systems, with consideration of both hardware and software. They emphasize structured design throughout, and the design methods, techniques, and notations are consistent with this theme. The first part of the book lays the foundation for structured design techniques; the second part provides the fundamentals of microprocessor and up-based design. Topics covered include mixed logic notation, the algorithm state machine, and structured programming techniques with well-documented programs. Contains an abundance of examples and end-of-chapter problems.
This text is for first and second year undergraduates studying the fundamentals of computer engineering, digital logic and microprocessors. Assuming little background in computer systems, the book presents the basics then illustrates them with and examination of 8086 architecture and programming. The intention is to teach digital logic by using programmable logic devices (PLDs) and the CUPL language.
Fundamentals of Digital Logic and Microcomputer Design, haslong been hailed for its clear and simple presentation of theprinciples and basic tools required to design typical digitalsystems such as microcomputers. In this Fifth Edition, the authorfocuses on computer design at three levels: the device level, thelogic level, and the system level. Basic topics are covered, suchas number systems and Boolean algebra, combinational and sequentiallogic design, as well as more advanced subjects such as assemblylanguage programming and microprocessor-based system design.Numerous examples are provided throughout the text. Coverage includes: Digital circuits at the gate and flip-flop levels Analysis and design of combinational and sequentialcircuits Microcomputer organization, architecture, and programmingconcepts Design of computer instruction sets, CPU, memory, and I/O System design features associated with popular microprocessorsfrom Intel and Motorola Future plans in microprocessor development An instructor's manual, available upon request Additionally, the accompanying CD-ROM, contains step-by-stepprocedures for installing and using Altera Quartus II software,MASM 6.11 (8086), and 68asmsim (68000), provides valuablesimulation results via screen shots. Fundamentals of Digital Logic and Microcomputer Design is anessential reference that will provide you with the fundamentaltools you need to design typical digital systems.
This textbook for a one-semester course in Digital Systems Design describes the basic methods used to develop “traditional” Digital Systems, based on the use of logic gates and flip flops, as well as more advanced techniques that enable the design of very large circuits, based on Hardware Description Languages and Synthesis tools. It was originally designed to accompany a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) created at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB), currently available on the Coursera platform. Readers will learn what a digital system is and how it can be developed, preparing them for steps toward other technical disciplines, such as Computer Architecture, Robotics, Bionics, Avionics and others. In particular, students will learn to design digital systems of medium complexity, describe digital systems using high level hardware description languages, and understand the operation of computers at their most basic level. All concepts introduced are reinforced by plentiful illustrations, examples, exercises, and applications. For example, as an applied example of the design techniques presented, the authors demonstrate the synthesis of a simple processor, leaving the student in a position to enter the world of Computer Architecture and Embedded Systems.
An introductory text to computer architecture, this comprehensive volume covers the concepts from logic gates to advanced computer architecture. It comes with a full spectrum of exercises and web-downloadable support materials, including assembler and simulator, which can be used in the context of different courses. The authors also make available a hardware description, which can be used in labs and assignments, for hands-on experimentation with an actual, simple processor.This unique compendium is a useful reference for undergraduates, graduates and professionals majoring in computer engineering, circuits and systems, software engineering, biomedical engineering and aerospace engineering.Related Link(s)
