Ben Eater: Build an 8-bit Computer From Scratch
by Ben Eater · YouTube
Video series building a programmable 8-bit computer on breadboards from discrete 74-series logic chips: clock module, shared bus, registers, ALU, SRAM, program counter, and microcoded control logic, debugged on-camera with a scope. Schematics and parts lists accompany the series at eater.net/8bit.

Understanding and Interpreting Standard-Logic Data Sheets (SZZA036C)
Texas Instruments application report explaining every parameter on a standard-logic datasheet: recommended operating conditions, VIH and VOL thresholds, propagation delay, setup and hold times, quiescent and dynamic supply current, ESD ratings, and the test conditions behind each specified number.
Lessons In Electric Circuits, Volume IV: Digital
Tony Kuphaldt's openly licensed reference text covering numeration systems, Boolean algebra and Karnaugh maps, logic gates with their actual TTL and CMOS transistor-level implementations, multivibrators and flip-flops, counters, shift registers, digital memory, and analog-to-digital conversion.
Nand to Tetris: Building a Modern Computer From First Principles
Project course by Noam Nisan and Shimon Schocken in which a working computer is built starting from a single NAND gate: elementary gates, adders, an ALU, flip-flops, registers, RAM and a CPU, specified in a simple HDL and checked by a supplied hardware simulator.
Digital Design and Computer Architecture, RISC-V Edition
Builds from Boolean algebra and CMOS gate construction through combinational and sequential logic, timing, finite state machines and SystemVerilog/VHDL, then uses those blocks to design a working RISC-V microprocessor and memory hierarchy.
