This comprehensive, integrated introduction to digital hardware design features an up-to-date treatment of the fundamentals of logic design, microprocessors, interface design,and assembly language programming. Digital Logic and Microprocessors also includes an introduction to hardware description languages which provides a means of describing more complex sequential circuits and serves as a transition to the discussion of microprocessors. To come to grips with real-world details, the book uses an actual microprocessor (the 6502) as a tool for programming instruction, giving readers experience in those areas vital to system design, including input-output interfacing. The choice of the 6502 makes it possible to illustrate important programming topics with complete routines.
Digital Logic and Microprocessors is accessible enough to be understood without prerequisites. This rigorously tested guide presents engineering design topics that can be grasped without a prior background in calculus. As a further aid, numerous completely developed examples appear throughout the book. It therefore can be used by working electrical and computer engineers, students specializing in computer technology or electrical engineering, non-majors with some knowledge of a high-levellanguage, or by any reader with sufficient interest and desire to learn about computer hardware.
