Synopsis

Unlike simpler analogue circuits, digital circuits are able to store and process bits of information needed to make logical decisions. This book is a practical guide to explaining how digital circuits are designed and interfaced. There are 20 plus projects to help explain the concepts of designing digital circuits to the reader as well as wiring them to various devices.

About this title

Review:

From New Literature Section: Intended for electronics hobbyists and students who want to understand digital logic, this book features more than 20 projects for designing, constructing, and interfacing TTL ("Transistor-"Transistor-"Logic) circuits. From constructing your own simple 8-bit computer to creating and debugging applications, the author explores the art of digital electronics through step-by-step instructions and demonstrations of project-assembly techniques.

THE HEART OF DIGITAL ELECTRONICS

Though ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits) have largely replaced TTL chips, it is TTLs that gtive electronics enthusiasts the power to design and build logic circuits from scratch. The first Apple computers were run by rows and rows of TTLs it's TTLs that expose how digital logic really works.
