Description
The vast majority of microprocessors are used to control devices like vending machines, lifts and security systems which allow more complex systems to be produced quicker and at a cheaper rate. This book looks at the technique for designing digital systems which, if emulated on a microprocessor, would be inefficient. In this respect, the book attempts to cover the range of microprogrammable hardware currently available looking specifically at two sets of chips on the market produced by the companies Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Texas Instruments (TI). "Microprogrammable Hardware" specializes in it's examination of the chip but also looks at the development of computers generally. The book looks at how to use the various chips and covers their associated peripheral and controller chips, as well as almost all conventional computers and specialized processors such as those used in signal processing.
