This is one of very few books that combine the "must know" essentials of digital electronics and microprocessors. Through this approach, it enables students to readily understand both hardware and software.
The fourth edition of Digital and Microprocessor Fundamentals: Theory and Applications enhances coverage of the following topics:
- Computer magnetic and optical memory devices
- Review of basic electricity principles
- Instructions for implementing digital logic with CPLDs
- Circuit design applications using CPLDs
- Using the EMAC Primer Microprocessor Trainer
- Using the SIM8085 Microprocessor Simulator on a PC
- Important World Wide Web sites
The CD packaged with this text includes SIM8085 software. This valuable learning tool allows students to simulate their programs on a Windows-based PC as they monitor registers and memory.
