For introductory courses in Computer Engineering or Computer Hardware Design in departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or Electrical Engineering Technology; also appropriate for a Digital Systems Design course. Covers the fundamentals of hardware and computer design with exceptional breadth and in a very accessible style using abundant examples to build understanding and problem-solving skills. Reflects the current industry trend of designing with hardware description languages (HDLs) instead of logic diagrams - provides optional introductory treatments of both VHDL and Verilog languages - with additional coverage available on the Companion Website for more substantial treatment. Gives the instructor maximum flexibility in HDL coverage. By covering broadly-based fundamentals, provides an excellent foundation and perspective for more advanced courses in digital hardware design and computer architecture and organization preparation.
