"Digital Design and Computer Architecture" takes a unique and
modern approach to digital design. Beginning with digital logic
gates and progressing to the design of combinational and sequential
circuits, Harris and Harris use these fundamental building blocks
as the basis for what follows: the design of an actual MIPS
processor. SystemVerilog and VHDL are integrated throughout the
text in examples illustrating the methods and techniques for
CAD-based circuit design. By the end of this book, readers will be
able to build their own microprocessor and will have a
top-to-bottom understanding of how it works. Harris and Harris have
combined an engaging and humorous writing style with an updated and
hands-on approach to digital design.
This second edition has been updated with new content on I/O
systems in the context of general purpose processors found in a PC
as well as microcontrollers found almost everywhere. The new
edition provides practical examples of how to interface with
peripherals using RS232, SPI, motor control, interrupts, wireless,
and analog-to-digital conversion. High-level descriptions of I/O
interfaces found in PCs include USB, SDRAM, WiFi, PCI Express, and
others. In addition to expanded and updated material throughout,
SystemVerilog is now featured in the programming and code examples
(replacing Verilog), alongside VHDL. This new edition also provides
additional exercises and a new appendix on C programming to
strengthen the connection between programming and processor
architecture.
SECOND Edition Features Covers the fundamentals of digital logic
design and reinforces logic concepts through the design of a MIPS
microprocessor.Features side-by-side examples of the two most
prominent Hardware Description Languages (HDLs)-SystemVerilog and
VHDL-which illustrate and compare the ways each can be used in the
design of digital systems.Includes examples throughout the text
that enhance the reader s understanding and retention of key
concepts and techniques.Companion Web site includes links to CAD
tools for FPGA design from Altera and Mentor Graphics, lecture
slides, laboratory projects, and solutions to exercises.
Updated based on instructor feedback with more exercises and new
examples of parallel and advanced architectures, practical I/O
applications, embedded systems, and heterogeneous computing
Presents digital system design examples in both VHDL and
SystemVerilog (updated for the second edition from Verilog), shown
side-by-side to compare and contrast their strengthsIncludes a new
chapter on C programming to provide necessary prerequisites and
strengthen the connection between programming and processor
architectureCompanion Web site includes links to Xilinx CAD tools
for FPGA design, lecture slides, laboratory projects, and solutions
to exercises.
