Digital Electronics:A Simplified ApproachDescription |
For Digital Electronics courses at the undergraduate level. Providing a user-friendly developmental approach to learning digital electronics operation, this refreshing text places an emphasis on using developmental techniques to derive the knowledge necessary to understand operational and design concepts, rather than antiquated rote memorization.  |
|
Features |
- A developmental approach-Shows how logic gates operate.
Allows students to assimilate the information needed to understand AND, OR, NAND, NOR, and NOT gate operations, and complete truth tables and draw a gate's output with ease. Ex.___
- Logical approach in its analysis of Boolean and DeMorgan's theorems for easy comprehension-Stresses methods on how to read a Boolean expression and develop alternate logic gate symbols.
- Many innovative ideas-Simplifies understanding of digital concepts.
- “Short logic”-A set of student-developed precepts designating the relationship between a logic gate's inputs and output.
- Chapter pedagogy-Brief introduction, list of important terms, broadly defined chapter objectives, practical applications and troubleshooting sections offered in each chapter.
