Synopsis
This Second Edition, revised to reflect developments that have occurred since publication of the first edition, provides engineers and scientists with the latest techniques in digital equipment design utilizing integrated circuits, including large-scale integration. Several topics have been revised significantly--there is expanded coverage of Schottky TTL, ECL and CMOS, and the section on ``Latches and Flip-Flops'' is reorganized, emphasizing the difference between these two storage elements. An entire chapter is devoted to the vast changes that have occurred in LSI and VLSI in the past decade. The text evolved from a course on digital circuits given at the University of Hawaii. Over 400 examples and problems, with step-by-step procedures utilizing up-to-date components, facilitate self-study, consolidating the learned material and broadening its scope.

From the Inside Flap
Both a reference and a textbook, this thorough resource on logic design provides a link between elementary theory and practical applications. Newly revised, the second edition incorporates advances in the technology that have occurred in the 13 years since the book was first published. In particular, Integrated Circuits in Digital Electronics contains new information on Schottky TTL, ECL, and CMOS. It includes a study of number systems, a detailed description of the design of sequential logic with emphasis on counters and shift registers, and a discussion of arithmetic circuits. One chapter has been renamed Latches and Flip-Flops and has been reorganized to emphasize the differences between these two storage elements.There is a summary of coding, code conversion, and error detection and correction, as well as descriptions of digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital converters. The book features an up-to-date treatment of LSI and VLSI circuits, including static and dynamic circuits, RAMs, ROMs, PLAs, associative memories, and gate arrays. There is also a unified presentation of practical considerations in digital equipment design. As in the original edition, each chapter of Integrated Circuits in Digital Electronics is written to stand on its own, with some cross-referencing added to guide the beginner. The material includes over 400 examples and problems, with step-by-step procedures that employ up-to-date components to facilitate self-study. Problems at the end of the chapters consolidate the material and broaden its scope, and answers to selected problems are given at the end of the book. Integrated Circuits in Digital Electronics is an excellent text for a course in digital circuits for students of electrical engineering and computer science. As a comprehensive reference, it acquaints practicing engineers and scientists with the latest techniques in digital equipment design utilizing integrated circuits.
