Hardware -- Integrated Circuits.

Today, embedded systems are widely deployed in just about every piece of machinery from toasters to spacecrafts, and embedded system designers face many challenges. They are asked to produce increasingly complex systems using the latest technologies, but these technologies are changing faster than ever. They are asked to produce better quality designs with a shorter time-to-market. They are asked to implement increasingly complex functionality but, more importantly, to satisfy numerous other constraints. To achieve these current goals, the designer must be aware of such design constraints and, more importantly, the factors that have a direct effect on them. One of the challenges facing embedded system designers is the selection of the optimum processor for the application in hand: single-purpose, general-purpose, or application specific. Microcontrollers are one member of the family of the application specific processors. Digital System Design concentrates on the use of a microcontroller as the embedded system's processor and how to use it in many embedded system applications. The book covers both the hardware and software aspects needed to design using microcontrollers and is ideal for undergraduate students and engineers that are working in the field of digital system design.

The second edition of this work introduces the fundamental topics of digital system design. Divided into three parts, it covers logic design (into which a new section on ANSI/IEEE floating point standard has been included), the components of a microprocessor system and more extended aspects of digital system design. A major new chapter on VLSI system design and testing by Rafic Makki is included.

This textbook for a one-semester course in Digital Systems Design describes the basic methods used to develop “traditional” Digital Systems, based on the use of logic gates and flip flops, as well as more advanced techniques that enable the design of very large circuits, based on Hardware Description Languages and Synthesis tools. It was originally designed to accompany a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) created at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB), currently available on the Coursera platform. Readers will learn what a digital system is and how it can be developed, preparing them for steps toward other technical disciplines, such as Computer Architecture, Robotics, Bionics, Avionics and others. In particular, students will learn to design digital systems of medium complexity, describe digital systems using high level hardware description languages, and understand the operation of computers at their most basic level. All concepts introduced are reinforced by plentiful illustrations, examples, exercises, and applications. For example, as an applied example of the design techniques presented, the authors demonstrate the synthesis of a simple processor, leaving the student in a position to enter the world of Computer Architecture and Embedded Systems.

In recent years Digital Electronics & Microprocessor is being used extensively in computers, microprocessor and very large scale integration (VLSI) design and digital signal processing research and many other things. This rapid progress in Electronics Engineering has created an increasing demand for trained Digital System Designs personnel. This book is intended for the undergraduate and postgraduate students specializing in Electronics Engineering, Computer Science Engineering and Information Technology. It will also serve as reference material for engineers employed in industry. The fundamental concepts and principles behind Digital Electronics & Microprocessor are explained in a simple, easy- to- understand manner. Each chapter contains a large number of solved example or problem which will help the students in problem solving and designing of Electronics system. This text book is organized into Thirteen chapters. Chapter 1: Number Systems and Boolean Algebra Chapter 2: Combinational Circuits Chapter 3: Sequential Circuits Chapter 4 : Digital Logic FamiliesChapter 5: Memory & Programmable Logic Chapter 6: Asynchronous Sequential Logic Chapter-7: Digital System Design Using Hardware Chapter 8: Digital System Design Using VHDL Chapter-9: Design of Fast Adder Chapter 10: Design of Fast MultiplierChapter 11: Basics of MicroprocessorChapter 12: Programing of MicroprocessorChapter 13: Micro Controller & Its Applications The book Digital Electronics & Microprocessor is written to cater to the needs of the undergraduate courses in the discipline of Electronics & Communication Engineering, Computer Science Engineering, Information Technology, Electronics & Instrumentation Engineering, Electrical & Electronics Engineering and postgraduate students specializing in Electronics. It will also serve as reference material for engineers employed in industry. The fundamental concepts and principles behind Digital Electronics & Microprocessor are explained in a simple, easy- to- understand manner. Digital Electronics & Microprocessor also gives the possible experiments of digital logic design using VHDL and Hardware that can be done by students of B.E. /B.Tech./M.Tech. and Ph.D. level.Salient Features*Detailed coverage of Number Systems and Boolean Algebra, Combinational Circuits and Sequential Circuits *Comprehensive chapters on Digital Logic Families, Memory & Programmable Logic and Asynchronous Sequential Logic *Detailed coverage of Digital System Design Using Hardware, Digital System Design Using VHDL, Design of Fast Adder and Design of Fast Multiplier*Comprehensive chapters on Basics of Microprocessor, Programing of Microprocessor, Microcontroller and Its Application.*Each chapter contains a large number of solved example or objective type's problem which will help the students in problem solving and designing of digital system. *Clear perception of the various problems with a large number of neat, well drawn and illustrative diagrams. *Simple Language, easy- to- understand manner.
