Even
with 17 years of engineering experience behind him, the author found
himself lost when he first encountered integrated-circuit logic
electronics. Any reference he found either assumed he had wide
experience with computers and had lived with gates and flip-flops for a
long time, or they were devoted to Boolean algebra and the mathematics
of logic circuits. Finally, after much frustration, he mastered the
subject and decided to write a book to help others faced with the same
problem.

This book is designed
to help the engineer or technician who has not previously used or
designed digital logic circuits to meet the challenge of digital
integrated circuits in electronics. Here, the practical problems and
limitations of connecting integrated-circuit logic elements into logic
systems are thoroughly covered. |
The
first two chapters cover binary, BCD, and decimal number systems, and
Boolean algebra with its applications to simple switching circuits. The
next two chapters deal with gates and gate combinations, and the
following chapter treats bistable elements. Then the logi facmilies are
discussed and compared. The next chapter deals with off-the-shelf logic
elements -- breadboarding, testing, troubleshooting, and locating
sources of data on integrated circuits. The following chapter includes
experiments to aid in understanding the operation of logic circuits.
The final chapter introduces and explains microprocessors.
