When people think of digital in today's context of technology, they

generally picture a computer. It's hard to imagine a modern aspect

of life that is not in some way impacted by the ubiquitous digital

computer. Almost every aspect of our daily lives is managed by a

massive computer system, from our bank and savings accounts to

our cars, credit cards, income taxes, and even plane tickets. In addition

to these enormous systems, almost anybody can afford a hand

calculator, personal computer (PC) from IBM or an IBM clone, a

computer from Apple's family of products, or any of a number of

other desktop computer systems. There are many different applications

for digital devices and integrated circuits, and Digital Electronics:

Principles, Devices, and Applications covers them all. There are a

number of ways in which it stands apart from other publications

that cover the same material. Diagrams & design examples are

abundant in each chapter of the book, whether they deal with

operational basics or practical applications. The book also includes

numerous new sections that are relevant to anybody interested in

digital electronics but are not included in the existing canon of

literature on the subject. This book is designed to be an excellent

resource for professionals, R&D scientists, and advanced-level

students in the fields of electrical, electronics, computer science,

and information technology, as well as undergraduate and graduate

students in these fields of study.
