DIGITAL LOGIC AND COMPUTER ORGANIZATION
À propos de cet ebook
Starting with the foundation material on data representation, computer arithmetic and combinatorial and sequential circuit design, the text explains ALU design and includes a discussion on an ALU IC chip. It also discusses Algorithmic State Machine and its representation using a Hardware Description Language before shifting to computer organization.
The evolutionary development of a small hypothetical computer is described illustrating hardware-software trade-off in computer organization. Its instruction set is designed giving reasons why each new instruction is introduced. This is followed by a description of the general features of a CPU, organization of main memory and I/O systems. The book concludes with a chapter describing the features of a real computer, namely the Intel Pentium. An appendix describes a number of laboratory experiments which can be put together by students, culminating in the design of a toy computer.
Key Features
• Self-contained presentation of digital logic and computer organization with minimal pre-requisites
• Large number of examples provided throughout the book
• Each chapter begins with learning goals and ends with a summary to aid self-study by students.
