Digital Design and Computer Architecture
Description
Key Features
- 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.
