Integrated circuits in digital electronics

Dan I. Porat and Arpad Barna offer a primer on digital electronics organized around the integrated circuits engineers actually use and the ways those chips are applied. Readers need only a basic understanding of transistor circuits and simple algebra to follow along.

This second edition updates the material with newer logic families, including Schottky-diode clamped TTL and CMOS, and with advances in very large scale integration (VLSI). Learning aids include self-evaluation questions, worked examples, illustrations, exercises and tables.

The book moves from basic logic circuits, number systems and coding to Boolean algebra and simplification methods. It then covers combinational circuits, flip-flops, counters, shift registers, LSI and VLSI arithmetic circuits, code converters and displays, computers and microcomputers, digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital converters, and systems considerations.
