Digital Design & Computer Organization

Covers numbers representations and arithmetic in different basesIntroduces Boolean algebra, simplification of Boolean expression, and gate representations in terms of design and analysisExamines concepts of voltage, current, resistance, Kirchoff's laws, RC circuits, and CMOS gate design applicationsDesigns an arithmetic logic unit in relation to computer organizationExplores decoders, encoders, multiplexers, and demultiplexersAnalyzes the design of sequential circuits, along with Mealy and Moore representations and state minimizationExplains the design of memory cells and the design of static RAMDiscusses set architectures and instruction formatIllustrates the design of an AC-based CPU Digital Design and Computer Organization introduces digital design as it applies to the creation of computer systems. It summarizes the tools of logic design and their mathematical basis, along with in depth coverage of combinational and sequential circuits. The book includes an accompanying CD that includes the majority of circuits highlighted in the text, delivering you hands-on experience in the simulation and observation of circuit functionality. These circuits were designed and tested with a user-friendly Electronics Workbench package (Multisim Textbook Edition) that enables your progression from truth tables onward to more complex designs.This volume differs from traditional digital design texts by providing a complete design of an AC-based CPU, allowing you to apply digital design directly to computer architecture. The book makes minimal reference to electrical properties and is vendor independent, allowing emphasis on the general design principles.
