Digital and Computer Architecture, ARM Edition

Digital and Computer Architecture: ARM Edition covers the fundamentals of digital logic and reinforces logic concepts through the of an ARM microprocessor. Combining an engaging and humorous writing style with an updated and hands-on approach to digital , this book takes the reader from the fundamentals of digital logic to the actual of an ARM processor. 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. Beginning with digital logic gates and progressing to the of combinational and sequential circuits, this book uses these fundamental building blocks as the basis for ing an ARM processor. SystemVerilog and VHDL are integrated throughout the text in examples illustrating the methods and techniques for CAD-based circuit . The companion website includes a chapter on I/O systems with practical examples that show how to use the Raspberry Pi computer to communicate with peripheral devices such as LCDs, Bluetooth radios, and motors. This book will be a valuable resource for students taking a course that combines digital logic and computer architecture or students taking a two-quarter sequence in digital logic and computer organization/architecture.
