Tells you how to design and build a general-purpose microcomputer to your own specifications. Bridges the gap between the highly specific data sheets from manufacturers and the more general student textbooks. Provides full circuit diagrams, and shows you with a wealth of practical details how to build the system yourself. Also teaches you the principles involved, so that you can modify the design, and build a new system to your own requirements. Topics covered include power supplies, address decoding, input/output techniques, video display circuits, analog-to-digital interface, multiprocessors, and the monitor program which controls the system.

Principles of Computer Hardware

Written in a highly accessible style, this introduction covers the entire range of hardware-related topics. Exhaustive in scope, it covers material usually found only by consulting several volumes, and includes advanced or new topics (such as local area networks) not found in conventional introductory texts. Where appropriate, hardware is related to software considerations, and day-to-day engineering practice is emphasized. Numerous worked examples provide students with hands-on experience. Undergraduate computer science and electronics students will benefit from Clement's informal yet challenging approach.

The Principles of Computer Hardware

Computer Science

Principles of Computer Hardware, now in its third edition, provides a first course in computer architecture or computer organization for undergraduates. The book covers the core topics of such a course, including Boolean algebra and logic design; number bases and binary arithmetic; the CPU; assembly language; memory systems; and input/output methods and devices. It then goes on to cover the related topics of computer peripherals such as printers; the hardware aspects of the operating system; and data communications, and hence provides a broader overview of the subject. Its readable, tutorial-based approach makes it an accessible introduction to the subject. The book has extensive in-depth coverage of two microprocessors, one of which (the 68000) is widely used in education. All chapters in the new edition have been updated. Major updates include: * powerful software simulations of digital systems to accompany the chapters on digital design; * a tutorial-based introduction to assembly language, including many examples; * a completely rewritten chapter on RISC, which now covers the ARM computer.

Ideal for courses in computer hardware, architecture, or digital design, The Principles of Computer Hardware, 3/e, provides a comprehensive introduction to the subject. In Alan Clement's noted student-friendly style, it covers core topics including Boolean algebra and logic design; number bases and binary arithmetic; the CPU; assembly language; memory systems; and input/output methods and devices. It then continues with a discussion of the related topics of computer peripherals, the hardware aspects of the operating system, and data communications. This accessible text covers both the 68000 and ARM architectures in a tutorial/lab-based style suitable for a variety of courses. All chapters in this third edition have been rigorously updated. Powerful new Windows-based simulation software allows students to visualize the design of digital circuits. The chapter on RISC has been completely rewritten to include the ARM computer, and the tutorial-based introduction to assembly language now includes many examples.

Principles of Computer Hardware (With CD-ROM)

Completely updated and revised throughout, the fourth edition of Principles of Computer Hardware explores the fundamentals of computer structure, architecture, and programming. The book opens with an introduction to the fundamental concepts behind computer architecture: gates, circuits, logic, and computer arithmetic. It goes on to discuss computer operation from instruction set architecture and assembly language programming to the central processing unit. Then, the text builds on these foundations; explaining how the hardware interfaces with its surroundings, introducing computer memory, operating systems, and computer peripherals. With clear, concise explanations throughout, Principles of Computer Hardware, Fourth Edition, is ideal for undergraduate courses in computer architecture. Student CD--Included with Every Copy of the Text �Features a Windows-based simulator for the student to explore the design of digital circuits �Includes Windows and DOS-based 68K simulators for students to investigate the operation of the 68K processor �Contains an ARM simulator that allows students to write programs for a RISC processor and run them on a PC Companion Website �Provides a bank of multiple-choice tests �Lists downloadable files of all figures from the book as well as solutions to problems featured in the text

Addresses the components needed to interface a microprocessor system to the outside world, such as parallel interfaces, serial interfaces, disk controllers, and real-time clocks. Provides a stepping stone between the general course on microprocessor systems design and the real world, where interface design is crucial. Covers specific interface chips, from parallel port to multiprocessor and local area network types.
