Digital Electronics Principles And Integrated Circuits

The fundamentals and implementation of digital electronics are essential to understanding the design and working of consumer/industrial electronics, communications, embedded systems, computers, security and military equipment. Devices used in applications such as these are constantly decreasing in size and employing more complex technology. It is therefore essential for engineers and students to understand the fundamentals, implementation and application principles of digital electronics, devices and integrated circuits. This is so that they can use the most appropriate and effective technique to suit their technical need. This book provides practical and comprehensive coverage of digital electronics, bringing together information on fundamental theory, operational aspects and potential applications. With worked problems, examples, and review questions for each chapter, Digital Electronics includes: information on number systems, binary codes, digital arithmetic, logic gates and families, and Boolean algebra; an in-depth look at multiplexers, de-multiplexers, devices for arithmetic operations, flip-flops and related devices, counters and registers, and data conversion circuits; up-to-date coverage of recent application fields, such as programmable logic devices, microprocessors, microcontrollers, digital troubleshooting and digital instrumentation. A comprehensive, must-read book on digital electronics for senior undergraduate and graduate students of electrical, electronics and computer engineering, and a valuable reference book for professionals and researchers.

This book presents three aspects of digital circuits: digital principles, digital electronics, and digital design. The modern design methods of using electronic design automation (EDA) are also introduced, including the hardware description language (HDL), designs with programmable logic devices and large scale integrated circuit (LSI).The applications of digital devices and integrated circuits are discussed in detail as well.

Digital electronics is the branch of physics that deals with electronic circuits that use digital signals. In digital circuits, signals can be transmitted without degradation. A digital circuit is constructed using logic gates that are created from electrically controlled switches such as transistors. An integrated circuit consists of multiple transistors on a single silicon chip, and designed using electronic design automation software. Digital circuit complexity can be minimized using algorithms such as Espresso heuristic logic minimizer. Algorithms for the optimization of large logic systems employ binary decision diagrams or algebraic manipulations. This book is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex theories and principles in the field of digital electronics. The various aspects of digital electronics along with technological progress that have future implications have also been glanced at. In this book, constant effort has been made to make the understanding of the difficult concepts of digital electronics as easy and informative as possible, for the readers.

Don't be left behind by modern developments in digital electronics! They present a fascinating new world of achievement which can be easy to understand, if you start at the beginning. Everyone is familiar with digital displays on watches and clocks and calculators, for example. Each number is formed from seven rectangular 'light bulbs', with the correct number of bulbs switched on by a digital circuit to light up the number required. Digital electronics, in fact, is based on devices which work on an on/off basis, or 'count' in steps of 1 (i.e., in 'digits'). The basic devices are quite simple, but when interconnected with tens, hundreds or even thousands of similar devices can perform a fantastic range of calculations, store and give out information, solve problems etc., all at fantastic speed. It is the number and complexity of interconnections of such devices that can be bewildering - not how the actual devices work. Their working can be studied in three different ways. Mechanical equivalents in terms of switches and symbols (called block logic), which anyone can understand because you can 'see' how it works. Truth tables which display all possible conditions of a digital device, from which you choose the one you want, e.g., the ten possible states of a digital number display. Binary arithmetic for working out solutions mathematically. Plus, of course, the basic digital circuits involved which provide all the functions required. How digital electronics works, with clear line drawings to illustrate circuits and their applications, is what this book is all about. It starts from first principles and works right through to 'talking' to computers. The author has considerable experience in the field of practical electronics and is noted for his ability to explain technicalities in language that is easy to understand.

An essential companion to John C Morris's 'Analogue Electronics', this clear and accessible text is designed for electronics students, teachers and enthusiasts who already have a basic understanding of electronics, and who wish to develop their knowledge of digital techniques and applications. Employing a discovery-based approach, the author covers fundamental theory before going on to develop an appreciation of logic networks, integrated circuit applications and analogue-digital conversion. A section on digital fault finding and useful ic data sheets completes the book.

This text covers updated contents such as optoisolators, stepper motors, electronic simulation software, digital capacitance meters, optical encoding, LEDs, logic probes and arithmetic logic units.
