SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on constructing a comprehensive curriculum for Computer Electronics Engineering, emphasizing the sequential learning of essential topics. Key areas include Digital Logic, Micro-controllers, Computer Architecture, and Digital Electronics, each accompanied by recommended texts for deeper understanding. The suggested resources include "Digital Design" by M. Morris Mano for Digital Logic, "The Definitive Guide to ARM Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4 Processors" by Joseph Yiu for Micro-controllers, and "Digital Electronics: A Practical Approach with VHDL" by William Kleitz for Digital Electronics. The conversation highlights the importance of foundational knowledge in electronics to build advanced skills.

PREREQUISITES
  • Digital Logic fundamentals
  • Micro-controller architecture and Assembly language
  • Computer Architecture principles
  • CMOS transistor operation in Digital Electronics
NEXT STEPS

Hey guys, I'm kind of building from my previous post of self-study. I am interested in the construction/building of computer parts and sciences. I was wondering if anybody could help me construct a list of topics (in sequence preferably) along with appropriate texts to learn what's listed? I know it is asking a lot, but I can't seem to find anything beyond basic electronic foundations material. Maybe its just because I don't know what this topic entails?

Hi,

I would suggest the following sequence:

1. Digital Logic: learn how logic gates/operations function

e.g. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0072525037/?tag=pfamazon01-20

2. Micro-controllers: understand how µcontrollers work, also familiarize yourself with the low level Assembly language.

e.g. https://www.amazon.com/dp/013119402X/?tag=pfamazon01-20

3. Computer Architecture: understand the different approaches to the system design as well as the functionality of the components

e.g. ?

4. Digital Electronics: see how to convert logic design to actual circuits using CMOS transistors

e.g. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0195323033/?tag=pfamazon01-20

and/or

https://www.amazon.com/dp/0130909963/?tag=pfamazon01-20
Note that the books mentioned in #4 can be considered to be of advanced level for self learners.
