Principles of Digital Design (1996), by Daniel D Gajski [DjVu] torrent

This book is designed to facilitate a thorough understanding of the fundamental principles of design without requiring readers to memorize an excess of confusing technological details. It integrates fundamentals with state-of-the-art techniques in computer design to demonstrate the complete design process, from specification to manufacturing.

FEATURES:

- Presents clear connections between principles and practice. (Throughout)
- Progresses naturally and patiently through the design process, ranging in complexity from logic and sequential levels to the levels of RISC processors and complete ASICs. (Throughout)
- Introduces a generic component library that reflects practical design constraints to help explain concepts and implement worked-out examples. (Ch. 5, 7)
- Takes a contemporary approach to logic and sequential design, emphasizing a coherent design process instead of manual design techniques. (Throughout)
- Introduces an ASIC design process based on the sequential and behavioral synthesis used in modern CAD tools. (Ch. 8)
- De-mystifies the art of processor design by extending synthesis techniques to microprocessor design. (Ch. 9)
- Demonstrates processor design on CISC and RISC processors including instruction set design and datapath design with data-forwarding and branch prediction. (Ch. 9)
