Based on the bestselling texts "Digital Logic and Computer Design" (1972) and "Computer Engineering: Hardware Design" (1988), this text presents the fundamentals of hardware design and integrates state-of-the-art techniques and technologies in an easy-to-understand style with abundant use of examples. Students taking introductory courses in digital logic design, computer engineering, or computer hardware design should find this text useful.

From the Publisher:

Based on the classic best-selling title Computer Engineering: Hardware Design (1988), this new text presents the fundamentals of hardware design and integrates state-of-the- art techniques and technologies in a smooth, easy-to-understand style with abundant use of examples to build understanding and problem-solving skills. The text provides excellent preparation for courses in contemporary computer architecture and organization that emphasize system-level concepts but present only a cursory treatment of actual hardware design.

From the Back Cover:

Key Benefit: Based on the classic best-selling titles Digital Logic and Computer Design (1972) and Computer Engineering: Hardware Design (1988), this new book presents a contemporary, integrated treatment of logic design and computer design ina single package. It covers the hardware design fundamentals essential for industrial practice or the study of more advanced topics in digital system design and computer architecture. Topics are presented in a smooth, easy-to-understand style with abundant use of examples to build understanding and problem-solving skills. Key Topics: Includes more coverage of real world examples and concepts than other books by Mano, including ample coverage of programmable logic devices (PLDs) and examples of I/O and disk technologies; focuses on the use of hierarchy in design; introduces coverage of simulation and incorporates actual schematics and simulation results; illustrates logic functions using functional blocks instead of SSI and MSI integrated circuits in keeping with the decline of the use of these circuits in current practice.
