Presents the fundamentals and design of microcoded systems, starting from simple state machines and using a progression of four built and tested circuits: a basic ROM-based state machine; a state machine with an ALU and registers; a simple CPU with an 8-bit data bus and a 16-bit address bus; a bit-slice based CPU that allows interrupts, bus sharing and asynchronous data transfers. All circuits are built using real devices with reference made to real data manuals, giving the text a more practical slant.
