Description:

The manuscript that I have read rather thoroughly impresses me as a potentially classic text in Digital Integrated Circuits. These are the words of one reviewer who examined the new text by DeMassa and Ciccone. Clear and concise, this book provides the most extensive coverage of digital integrated circuits found in a single source.

The text's emphasis on CMOS gives a detailed description of the most extensively used family of chips. Its sytematic, step-by-step approach and numerous problems and examples contribute to why reviewers praised this text's clarity. The modular table of contents provides more versatility in course structure. Over 50 SPICE simulations help students apply their knowledge with the most universally accepted circuit analysis package.

Tips, tricks, and gimmicks help students avoid common pitfalls. Suitable for a junior/senior/grad level course in Digital (Integrated) Circuits, Bipolar Digital IC's, or MOS/ GASFET Digital IC's taught out of Electrical Engineering or Electronic Technology departments. Required of most Electrical Engineering majors, this course typically follows the Electronics and Digital Logic courses.

Features:

• Provides the most extensive coverage of digital integrated circuits available in a single source including logic families such as TTL, ECL, CMOS, NMOS, and GASFET.

• Emphasizes CMOS digital logic, the most commonly used logic family in industry, and provides detailed description of CMOS operation and design.

• Inclusion of SPICE simulations throughout the text help student to apply their knowledge in practical examples using all of the digital families.

• Coverage of circuits not found in other books including NAND, AND, NOR, OR, XOR, XNOR, and AOIs,and tri-state and Schmitt gates.

• Modular organization separates topics into manageable units for students and provides versatility to the instructor.

• Systematic, step-by-step approach to circuit analysis breaks topics down into manageable units for students and provides versatility to the instructor.

• Over 1000 end-of-chapter problems and 200 worked examples provide instructors with plenty of choices for homework assignments and in-class demonstrations. Answers to half of the problems are found at the end of the book for ease in self-study.

• Pedagogical tools called tips, tricks, and gimmicks help students avoid common pitfalls and save valuable classroom time.

• New technique for applying Kirchoff's voltage law (KVL) maximizes the reader's understanding by using a visual description (Ch. ).
