Digital Electronics: Principles, Devices And Applications

When people think of digital in today's context of technology, they generally picture a computer. It's hard to imagine a modern aspect of life that is not in some way impacted by the ubiquitous digital computer. Almost every aspect of our daily lives is managed by a massive computer system, from our bank and savings accounts to our cars, credit cards, income taxes, and even plane tickets. In addition to these enormous systems, almost anybody can afford a hand calculator, personal computer (PC) from IBM or an IBM clone, a computer from Apple's family of products, or any of a number of other desktop computer systems. There are many different applications for digital devices and integrated circuits, and Digital Electronics: Principles, Devices, and Applications covers them all. There are a number of ways in which it stands apart from other publications that cover the same material. Diagrams & design examples are abundant in each chapter of the book, whether they deal with operational basics or practical applications. The book also includes numerous new sections that are relevant to anybody interested in digital electronics but are not included in the existing canon of literature on the subject. This book is designed to be an excellent resource for professionals, R&D scientists, and advanced-level students in the fields of electrical, electronics, computer science, and information technology, as well as undergraduate and graduate students in these fields of study.
