Introductory Digital Electronics

Adopting a systems approach to the teaching of digital concepts, this book prepares students for the study of the hardware aspects of microcomputers and other complex digital systems. The concept of a truth table, an important idea in the specification of a logic problem, is discussed in some detail, in addition to the way truth tables can be implemented using Read Only Memories. Sequential circuits are specified in terms of a next state table and are shown to be implementable with a ROM plus next state register. The interfacing of analogue and digital circuits is an important area and this topic is discussed with reference to types of analogue to digital and digital to analogue converte This book should be of interest to students of electrical and electronic engineering; enthusiasts from A Level upwards.
