DESCRIPTION:
Five Stars Lyonel P. Charlot Excellent. Demystifies Digital Computer Internals. Simply. Clearly. After hearing about digital computers while in high school (this was mid 80s), I was extremely curious about understanding how these so called 'computers' work. The idea that they can make decisions, remember things etc. was simply fascinating. General popular science articles weren't clear enough to give the complete picture.I was lucky to find a copy of this book in my school library. I took home this book, and simply read the book through the night. and what an experience it was!.It builds on absolutely fundamental concepts, logical components, simple logic gates, the mysterious flip-flop, the universal gate, the R. Christopher M. Ball said Excellent Book On Bits, Bytes, Binary, Gates and Logic Design. Malvino has a way with words and manages to simplify many aspects of low level digital electronics. I'm about half-way through the book and already cherish it for its very thorough explanations, starting from the simplest aspects (bits) and working towards more sophisticated elements of circuit design (truth tables with Karnaugh Maps). Along the way you'll take in many lessons on Boolean algebra and simplification techniques (don't let this scare you away - it's really not bad at all).While the book is definitely old, it's still very relevant, even with all of the improvements to computers over the last few decades.

Striking an ideally balanced approach, this text introduces students to microprocessor fundamentals by using a pedagogical SAP (Simple-As-Possible) model computer. An Instructor’s Guide containing answers to chapter questions and experiment results is also offered.. It also includes a student version of the TASM cross-assembler software program. The text then relates these fundamentals to three real-world examples: Intel’s 8085, Motorola’s 6800, and the 6502 chip used by Apple Computers. Experiments for Digital Computer Electronics, prepared expressly for this Third Edition, contains hardware and software experiments that allow students to expand upon the topics covered in the text through hands-on exercises. Instructors can focus on just one of these popular microprocessors, or include the features of others. This edition correlates closely with popular chip trainers and includes added coverage of the Intel 8088 16-bit microprocessors
