Introducing digital electronics with special coverage of integrated circuits and a chapter on practical applications, this book explains the operations of common digital components and circuits. This volume offers trouble-shooting concepts, example diagrams and end-of-chapter questions. Practical digital devices such as a clock, a voltmeter, a frequency counter, a thermometer, a sound synthesiser, a lock, a basketball game, a coffee vending machine and motor controls are all outlined. There is also a description of how to use state indicators, essential in understanding circuits construced in the IC form.
Excellent Chapter 11--Basic Logic Circuits; reduced math; emphasis is on applications and troubleshooting. Reinforced pedagogy throughout; examples, objectives, review questions, summaries, numerous practice problems. Lower level than Kleitz.
