Index.

This book teaches how to put these two types of circuits together to form both dedicated and general-purpose microprocessors. It has a unique approach combines the use of logic principles with the building of individual components to create data paths and control units. With this book students are able to design simple microprocessors, implement them in real hardware, and interface them to real-world devices. Through this book students learn how to design digital logic circuits, specifically combinational and sequential circuits.
