Download or read book Design of Computers and Other Complex Digital Devices written by Sunggu Lee and published by Pearson Education. This book was released on 2000 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uniquely, this advanced digital logic design textbook has as its design target an actual commercial 8-bit processor, the Intel 8080, serving as an extended example of the effective use of VHDL (a hardware description language), EPG As (field programmable gate arrays), and the ASM (Algorithmic State Machine) method to achieve this end. Part I provides a refresher course in basic digital logic design. Part II examines the use of programmable logic devices, hardware description languages, and the ASM method for implementation of general algorithms in hardware. Part III details the microprocessor's design and implementation specifications. Appends an overview of the Intel 8080 instruction set, and suggested lab projects for junior and senior-level students in electrical and computer engineering.
