The design and implementation of common digital logic families and practical considerations in logic design including design for testability asynchronous logic design, noise margin and timing constraints. A simple microprocessor architecture is introduced and this material is extended to consider how a microprocessor, memory and other peripheral circuits are connected to form a working system. The software and hardware required to interface a computer to the outside world are examined.
