Design of Computers and Other Complex Digital Devices

Complete step-by-step guide--This extremely detailed method walks the student through the entire process of designing an 8-bit microprocessor. Provides students with detailed instruction to help ensure success. Modified and expanded ASM method--Is presented as a systematic 5-step method to be used in any digital hardware device. Introduces students to an expanded application of the well-known ASM method. Appendix section with laboratory experiments--Lab experiments follow the presentation of the text material. Provides students with the opportunity for direct application of the text materials. Implementation of the Intel 8080--Covers the design process of an actual commercial microprocessor rather than a fictional computer as the design target. Gives students hands-on experience applying design concepts explored in class in a real-life situation. Three part organization--Part Iprovides an overview of basic digital logic design.Part IIexplores the use of programmable logic devices, hardware description languages, and the modified ASM method for the implementation of general algorithms in hardware.Part IIIpresents the design and implementation of an 8-bit microprocessor using the VHDL description, FPGA configuration, and the ASM design method. Providesinstructorswith a clear organization of course material for easier presentation. Companion website--Includes all the codes and figures with additional material for reference. Provides instant access to useful material and supplementary information.Lee, Sunggu is the author of 'Design of Computers and Other Complex Digital Devices' with ISBN 9780130402677 and ISBN 0130402672.
