_Digital Design and Computer Architecture_ is designed for courses
that combine digital logic design with computer
organization/architecture or that teach these subjects as a two-course
sequence. _Digital Design and Computer Architecture_ begins with a
modern approach by rigorously covering the fundamentals of digital
logic design and then introducing Hardware Description Languages
(HDLs). Featuring examples of the two most widely-used HDLs, VHDL and
Verilog, the first half of the text prepares the reader for what
follows in the second: the design of a MIPS Processor. By the end of
Digital Design and Computer Architecture, readers will be able to
build their own microprocessor and will have a top-to-bottom
understanding of how it works--even if they have no formal background
in design or architecture beyond an introductory class. David Harris
and Sarah Harris combine an engaging and humorous writing style with
an updated and hands-on approach to digital design.
· Unique presentation of digital logic design from the perspective of
computer architecture using a real instruction set, MIPS.
· Side-by-side examples of the two most prominent Hardware Design
Languages--VHDL and Verilog--illustrate and compare the ways the each
can be used in the design of digital systems.
· Worked examples conclude each section to enhance the reader's
understanding and retention of the material.
· Companion Web site includes links to CAD tools for FPGA design from
Xilinx, lecture slides, laboratory projects, and solutions to
exercises.
