Fundamentals of Digital Logic & Microcomputer Design, a leading computer science / engineering text for undergraduate and introductory graduate courses, has long been hailed for its clear and simple presentation of the principles and basic tools required to design typical digital systems such as microcomputers. In this Fifth Edition, the author focuses on computer design at three levels: the device level, the logic level and the system level.   Basic topics are covered, such as number systems and Boolean algebra, combinational and sequential logic design as well as more advanced subjects such as assembly language programming and microprocessor-based system design.  Numerous examples are provided. 

Coverage includes:

Additionally, the accompanying CD, which contains step-by-step procedures for installing and using Altera Quartus II software, and MASM 6.11 (8086) and 68asmsim (68000), provides valuable simulation results via screen shots.
