More Description

This text introduces digital design for computer systems. It summarizes the tools of logic design and their mathematical basis and provides an overview of combinational and sequential circuits. The author presents the complete design of an AC-based CPU, allowing readers to apply digital design directly to computer architecture. This book differs from traditional digital design texts by providing an accompanying CD that includes the majority of circuits highlighted in the text, delivering hands-on experience in the simulation of circuit functionality. Vendor-independent and making minimal reference to electrical properties, the book allows emphasis on the general design principles.
