This book will teach students how to design digital logic circuits,
specifically combinational and sequential circuits. Students will learn
how to put these two types of circuits together to form dedicated and
general-purpose microprocessors.
This book is unique in that it combines
the use of logic principles and the building of individual components
to create data paths and control units, and finally the building of real
dedicated custom microprocessors and general-purpose microprocessors.
After understanding the material in the book, students will be able to
design simple microprocessors and implement them in real hardware.
