For one-semester consolidated courses in Digital and Microprocessor Fundamentals, or one-semester courses in Digital Fundamentals followed by one-semester courses in Microprocessor Fundamentals.

Focusing on the “must know” essentials, this text provides single-volume coverage of the fundamentals of both digital electronics and microprocessors—helping students become proficient at both hardware and software principles. It uses a simple, easy-to-understand writing style, an abundance of clearly explained examples, and nearly 1,000 illustrations to explore practical applications and problems using industry-standard ICs, circuits, and schematics that students will encounter on the job.

• NEW - Modified and/or expanded coverage of today's hottest topics—Including Implementing Digital Logic with CPLDs.

  • Provides students with the cutting edge information they need to become proficient at both the hardware and software aspects of CPLD-based systems.

• NEW - Covers Computer Magnetic and Optical Memory Devices.

  • Provides students with new information on the latest technologies for memory and optical storage.

• NEW - Expanded appendices—Updated WWW sites, expanded review of basic electricity principles, complete instructions for implementing digital logic with CPLDs, circuit design applications using CPLDs, and using the EMAC Primer Microprocessor Trainer.

  • Provides students with easy access to more coverage of must-have basics.

• NEW - New software and applications included—i.e., tutorials for using Altera MAX+PLUS II CPLD and Xilinx Foundation CPLD Applications, SIM8085 Microprocessor Simulator Program with solutions to textbook examples and Texas Instruments data sheets.

  • Enables students to go step-by-step through a program and provides them with access to the applications, tools and solutions they need to master digital and microprocessors, so that they can easily move onto advanced microprocessor topics.

• Dual coverage—Combines digital electronics with microprocessor hardware/software.

  • Provides students with practical applications of theory as it will be used in later microprocessor chapters; and offers explanations of circuits that function as building blocks for microprocessor systems.

• Effective organization.

  • Helps students build a solid base in digital gating and medium-scale ICs, so they can progress through sequential digital logic and microprocessor hardware/software solutions to practical microprocessor-based system designs.

• Practical applications and problems—Using industry standard ICs and circuits.

  • Accustoms students to dealing with actual circuits and schematics that they will encounter in the real world.

• Microprocessor program solutions for 8085 and 8051 clearly explained.

  • Enables students to easily follow logic of the program and use it as a model for building their own program.

• As-needed instruction.

  • Introduces students to microprocessor instructions as they are being used in a program solution, providing the immediate application of each instruction, one at a time.

• Clear, conversational style.

  • Provides students with discussions of difficult topics using a highly accessible approach that enhances both comprehension and retention.

Digital and Microprocessors  (Electronics Technology)

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.
