This volume emphasizes analytical reasoning skills and basic digital design using industry-standard ICs. It teaches the practical skills students need to design and troubleshoot the digital circuitry they will face at work. The author uses actual industry integrated circuits to demonstrate circuit operations, and a solid step-by-step progression is made from fundamentals through more complicated topics. Emphasis is on the basics of circuit design, so that students, knowing the foundational building blocks, can then teach themselves new technology as it appears. In this edition new sections on surface mounted devices and on low-voltage (74LV) integrated circuits acquaint students with current technology while several new circuit operational notes are provided in the text figures.

From the Back Cover:

Digital electronics is the foundation of computers and microprocessor-based systems found in automobiles, industrial control systems, and home entertainment systems. Technological advances made in the past 25 years have provided us with integrated circuits and CPLDs (Complex Programmable Logic Devices) that can perform complex tasks with a minimum amount oh abstract theory and complicated circuitry, bringing us to an exciting place in this important field. An understanding of digital electronics not only provides the prerequisite background (or further studies in microprocessors and microcomputer interfacing, it also (asters the job skills that are needed to open doors to a myriad of technical careers involving computers and microprocessors.

This best-selling text, Digital Electronics: A Practical Approach, Sixth Edition, covers the fundamentals of digital electronics and is intended for students of technology, computer science, and engineering programs. As its name implies, the book approaches digital electronics from a practical perspective, enabling students who are taking a one- or two-semester course to learn the actual skills required to design and troubleshoot digital circuitry that they will see on the job.

Stressing the importance of analytical reasoning skills and basic digital design using industry-standard integrated circuits and CPLDs, the book is written in a style that is both engaging and easy to read and understand, heavily supported by a multitude of review questions, problem sets, examples, illustrations, and troubleshooting applications. In addition, an extensive package of ancillary material is available to aid in the teaching ,and learning process, including:
