About this title

Synopsis

Approaching the task of learning digital electronics operation from a developmental approach, rather than relying on antiquated rote memorization, this user-friendly guide emphasizes the use of developmental techniques to derive the knowledge necessary to understand operational and design concepts. Employs many innovative ideas to simplify understanding of digital concepts, enlightening readers with wisdom gained from over thirty years of author's electronics experience in government, academia, and industry. Takes a developmental approach to show how logic gates operate, promoting a step-by-step assimilation of information needed to understand AND, OR, NAND, and NOT gate operations, and enabling readers to complete truth tables and draw a gate's output with ease. Uses a logical approach in its analysis of Boolean and DeMorgan's theorems, and includes methods on how to read a Boolean expression and develop alternate logic gate symbols.
