Digital circuitry and computer architecture

The book presents a unique and modern approach to the development of digital devices. The authors begin with digital logical elements, proceed to the development of combination and consistent schemes, and then use these basic blocks as a basis for the most difficult: designing this MIPS processor. Examples in SystemVerilog and VHDL languages ​​illustrate methods and methods for designing schemes using CAD are given on the entire text. Having studied this book, readers will be able to develop their own microprocessor and get a complete understanding of how it works. The book combines an attractive and humorous style of presentation with a developed and practical approach to the development of digital devices. The second English -language publication included new materials about input/output systems in relation to general -purpose processors for both PCs and microcontrollers. Practical examples of interfaces of peripheral devices using RS-232, SPI, engine control, interruptions, wireless communication and analog-to-digital transformation are given. A highly level description of the interfaces is presented, including USB, SDRAM, WIFI, PCI Express and others
