Fundamentals of Digital Logic and Microcomputer Design: Includes Verilog & VHDL -- Fourth Edition

Rating:
Summary: A very complete treatise of the subject
Review: A good book for beginner students and practicing engineers alike. This book will take you from the most basic in digital logic to how to build a Intel or Motorola based computer. No wonder it is used as a text at Standford University and UC Berkley

Summary: An Instructor's notes in the palm of your hands
Review: As a former student of the author I can say this is a very good buy. One is getting the equivalent of 3-4 quarter class notes in one book. The book has is very easy to read and is a must for any beginner or person learning how to design a microcontroller. many examples on how to program the motorola 68000 series and intel x86. Can learn the basic assembly language needed to get started in microprocessor systems as well. I believe the book could have gotten into the Quine-McCluskey Method in more detail but can find that in a supplemental book such as the one written by Charles Roth, Jr. Also would like to see the book expanded to cover One-hot encoding.

Summary: I say go and buy it NOW !
Review: I bought this book and have used it EXTENSIVELY, it is great, the concepts of digital and microprocessor design are explained very very clearly. There are alot of digital and microprocessor books in the market, but I say this book "Fundamentals of digital logic and microprocessor design" tops them all, it covers basic digital information all the way to Intel and Motorolla processors and much more. I think this book will be my secret weapon against those nasty tests that my digital teachers give :-) ,

Summary: Very informative book about digital logic and microproc.
Review: I came across this book at the local bookstore, and I was skeptical at first but after an in-depth review of it , it became clear to me that the text "Fundamentals of Digital Logic & Microcomp. Design" can be very useful source of info. for people that seek very clear information about the field of digital logic and and microprocessor design. As an electrical engineer, I believe , it is written in such a way that anyone can gain from it. I sure liked it to the point that I purchased it and thats why I highly recommend this book for all.

Summary: excellent book on digital technology and microprocessor
Review: I had the opportunity to go through the copy of the third edition of the book entitled" Fundamentals of Digital logic and microcomputer design" by profesor. M. Rafiquzzaman. This edition definately contains more up to date information than the earlier edition. This edition has several unique features. I like the inclusion of definations of ASIC, FPGA/CPLD, CISC/RISC, SDRAM, Flash memories, more examples, and appendices containing details of instruction sets and specifications of Intel and Motorola microprocessors. The book emphasizes on the basics relating them to contemporary and popular microprocessors.i also like the fact that the author included guidelines for the minimum courses to be taken by electrical and computer engineers before graduation to strengthen teir digital background. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: A Good book for Digital Design
Review: I WAS USING THIS BOOK FOR MY UNDERGRADUATE CLASSES ON "DIGITAL DESIGN??, ??INTEL MIRCROCESSORS, 8086 ASSEMBLER??, ??MOTOROLA 16 BIT, 32 BIT AND 64 BIT MICROPROCESSORS??. THIS BOOK IS VERY USEFUL - IT HAS, FROM ONE HAND A VERY REASONABLE METHODOLOGY BEHIND. FROM THE OTHER HAND IT IS AN EXCELLENT COLLECTION OF DESIGN EXAMPLES. ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT IS THE BOOK COVERS ALL THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE DIGITAL DESIGN. THE NEW EDITION OF THIS BOOK COVER THE HDL, AND THIS BOOK IS BY FAR THE MOST INFORMATIVE AND PRACTICAL. THE NUMBER OF EXAMPLES CONTAINS VERILOG CODE, AND A TEST BENCH. THIS IS THE INCREDIBLE BOOK FOR ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING.
