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.

It is ideal for an introductory course in VHDL, containing digital logic and microprocessors along with both VHDL and Verilog.The material in the text is divided into three sections:· Fundamentals of digital logic circuits and design.· Microprocessor/microcomputer design.· Overview of 16-, 32-, and 64-bit microprocessors manufactured by Intel and Motorola.

Microcomputer Design and Applications provides information pertinent to the fundamental aspects of microcomputer design and applications. This book presents a design approach for multiple-processor computers. Organized into two parts encompassing 16 chapters, this book begins with an overview of a number system and supporting computational algorithms, which is especially useful for microcomputer control and digital signal processing. This text then presents an integrated technical and management-based method for developing microprocessor software. Other chapters consider file structures for a small-scale database system designed for microprocessor implementation and present the formulation of file structures for a typical microprocessor/flopping disk system. This book discusses as well the proposed solution to specify a high-level, machine-oriented, structured programming language suitable for general microprocessors and to implement a portable compiler for this language. The final chapter deals with a distributed processing system for non-invasive cardiac surveillance. This book is a valuable resource for engineers and computer scientists.
