Book Descriptions:
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 strengths
• Includes a new chapter on C programming to provide necessary prerequisites and strengthen the connection between programming and processor architecture
• Companion Web site includes links to Xilinx CAD tools for FPGA design, lecture slides, laboratory projects, and solutions to exercises.

From reader reviews:

Lydia Sanders:

What do you with regards to book? It is not important along with you? Or just adding material when you want something to explain what the ones you have problem? How about your extra time? Or are you busy person? If you don't have spare time to try and do others business, it is gives you the sense of being bored faster. And you have time? What did you do? Everyone has many questions above. They must answer that question because just their can do which. It said that about guide. Book is familiar on every person. Yes, it is right. Because start from on guardería until university need this particular Digital Design and Computer Architecture, Second Edition to read.

James Edwards:

This book untitled Digital Design and Computer Architecture, Second Edition to be one of several books this best seller in this year, that is because when you read this publication you can get a lot of benefit onto it. You will easily to buy this kind of book in the book store or you can order it by means of online. The publisher on this book sells the e-book too. It makes you easier to read this book, as you can read this book in your Cell phone. So there is no reason to you to past this publication from your list.

Andy Breaux:

Reading can called brain hangout, why? Because while you are reading a book specially book entitled Digital Design and Computer Architecture, Second Edition your thoughts will drift away trough every dimension, wandering in each and every aspect that maybe unidentified for but surely might be your mind friends. Imaging every single word written in a e-book then become one type conclusion and explanation which maybe you never get before. The Digital Design and Computer Architecture, Second Edition giving you an additional experience more than blown away your thoughts but also giving you useful info for your better life with this era. So now let us present to you the relaxing pattern the following is your body and mind are going to be pleased when you are finished reading it, like winning a game. Do you want to try this extraordinary shelling out spare time activity?

John Lopez:

Your reading sixth sense will not betray anyone, why because this Digital Design and Computer Architecture, Second Edition publication written by well-known writer who really knows well how to make book that could be understand by anyone who read the book. Written in good manner for you, dripping every ideas and creating skill only for eliminate your own hunger then you still doubt Digital Design and Computer Architecture, Second Edition as good book but not only by the cover but also by content. This is one guide that can break don't determine book by its cover, so do you still needing an additional sixth sense to pick this!? Oh come on your reading sixth sense already said so why you have to listening to a different sixth sense.
