Preface
Digital systems constitute a basic technical discipline, essential to practically any engineer. For that reason, the Engineering School of the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) has designed, a couple of years ago, an introductory course entitled “Digital Systems: from Logic Gates to Processors.” It is available on the Coursera massive open online course (MOOC) platform. A book including all the course material has recently been published.1 This second book aims at continuing and at going deeper into some of the topics dealt with in the above-mentioned course and related book. So, this is not an introductory course but a more in deep approach to digital systems. Complex systems are made up of processors executing programs, memories that store instructions and data, buses that transmit data, input–output interfaces that permit to communicate with other systems or with human users and other peripherals of different types. Many of those components are already available under the form of commercial off-the-she
