Looking for literature on microprogrammed machines

Feb 03, 2006 4 Replies

I am interested in studying the implementation of simple microprocessors and microprogrammed/microcoded machines and would like some literature pointers.



I still have my university text, "The Architecture of Microprocessors" by Francois Anceau... but I find it as hard to read now as I did back in '88.



Any recommended texts?



Thanks, Paul.

Thanks Philip - that's exactly what I was looking for.

Regards, Paul.

I don't know if you can buy it any more, but the bible was 'Bit-slice microprocessor design', Mick and Brick, 0-07-041781-4. Very easy reading, very practical. For the theoretical stuff you can get Hennessy & Patterson, though you probably wont need to read any of it.

Thanks Paul - I found it used at Amazon.

Got that one already, but I'd be lying if I said I'd read much of it ;-)

Thanks again, Paul.
