本书**介绍逻辑与计算机设计的基本概念,同时反映这些基本概念在技术和设计过程演变中的重要性。全书内容可分为三个部分:第l章到第6章介绍逻辑设计,第7章到第9章讲述数字系统设计技术,第10章到第14章集中介绍计算机设计技术。这样的组织安排既可以使读者具有坚实的数字系统设计基础,又能够实现循序渐进、自底向上的基本部件的设计开发,同时前面的设计结果能够应用于后面几章自顶向下的计算机设计过程。
本书着重强调用硬件描述语言、逻辑综合和验证来进行当代逻辑设计的基本方法,同时也强调计算机设计基本原理在应用方法上的变化,涵盖的逻辑和计算机设计知识面较广,适合作为高等院校计算机科学、计算机工程、电子工程或工程技术等相关专业不同级别课程的教材;同时,也适合作为计算机科学家和工程技术人员的参考用书。
本书的配套网站(Http://www.writphotec.com/mano/)上还提供了丰富的补充材料和教辅资源,方便教师教学和读者自学。
