| This book covers all basic concepts of computer engineering and science from digital logic circuits to the design of a complete microcomputer system in a methodical and basic manner. Its intention is to present a clear understanding of the principles and basic tools required to design typical digital systems such as microcomputers.
The book covers the latest version of Altera software called Quartus II.
The book provides a simplified introduction to VHDL along with a step by step procedure with tutorials on a CD. It is ideal for an introductory course in VHDL, containing digital logic and microprocessors along with both VHDL and Verilog.
The material in the text is divided into three sections:
- Fundamentals of digital logic circuits and design.
- Microprocessor/microcomputer design.
- Overview of 16-, 32-, and 64-bit microprocessors manufactured by Intel and Motorola.
An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutions to all the problems in the book is available from the Wiley editorial department.
