Introduction to Digital Techniques Second Edition Dan I. Porat and Arpad Barna An introduction to digital techniques that is oriented toward available integrated circuits and the way they are used. The material offers thorough coverage of all principles and applications, requiring only a rudimentary knowledge of transistor circuits and elementary algebra. The second edition covers the most up-to-date developments in logic circuits (Schottky-diode clamped TTL, CMOS) as well as advances in very large scale integration (VLSI). The book contains numerous self-evaluation questions, worked examples, illustrations, exercises, and tables. Topics covered in the second edition include basic logic circuits, number systems, coding, Boolean algebra and simplification methods, combinational logic circuits, flip-flops (FFs), counters, shift registers and shift register counters, LSI and VLSI arithmetic circuits, code converters and displays, computers and microcomputers, digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital converters, and systems considerations. 1986 0 471-09187-1 480 pp.
