Publisher's Synopsis
Revised and updated, this book introduces the fundamental topics in modern digital system design. It is divided into three parts - part 1 is devoted to logic design, part two covers the components of a microprocessor system and part three discusses further aspects of digital system design and extends the topics introduced in parts 1 and 2 and covers VLSI design.;The book integrates logic design, microprocessors and VLSI design, introducing the tools to design complex logic systems, describes the ANSI/IEEE floating point standard and introduces the ANSI/IEEE standard symbols. It describes microprocessors first by general characteristics/requirements and then presents various examples, presenting coverage of CISC's and RISC's with practical examples, and exploring the use of PLDs, and introduces microprogramming using a recent 32-bit example. Finally, it outlines VLSI design with design techniques, performance issues, test and design for test.
