Logic and Computer Design Fundamentals  (English, Paperback, Mano M. Morris R.)

For one- to two-semester Computer Science and Engineering courses in logic and digital design.

Featuring a strong emphasis on the fundamentals underlying contemporary logic design using hardware description languages, synthesis, and verification, this book focuses on the ever-evolving applications of basic computer design concepts with strong connections to real-world technology.

Salient Features

• Balance of Hardware Description Language coverage - VHDL, Verilog, or none.
• Strong connections to real-word technology-Discusses SRAM, DRAM, and synchronous DRAM technologies.
• Provides solid digital system design fundamentals while accomplishing a gradual, bottom-up development of fundamentals.
• Companion Website-12 reading supplements consisting of new material and deleted material from prior editions, code for all VHDL and Verilog examples, 25% of the problem solutions, and projection originals for all figures and major tables.

New to this Edition

• Approximately 40% of end of chapter problems are new or revised.
• Many new real-world examples and problems have been added.
• Example and problems are then used to illustrate the procedures for arriving at a description of a solution that can serve as input to CAD tools
• Greater emphasis on formulation stage of design process -- recognizing computerized design tools now perform many of the subsequent steps. 
• Significant reorganization of content to better fit course topics
• Updates to technological content to keep material current
• Input-Output and Communication
• High Performance CPU Concepts
• Architectural Innovations
• A brief description and illustration of the Espresso algorithm as an example of a pragmatic approach to 2-leve circuit optimization.
