This book will help the electronics experimenter understand and use the low-cost digital integrated circuits now available for practical, everyday electronics projects. The material presented attempts to shatter the myth that digital IC's are too expensive, too complex, or too awesome to use intelligently in simple circuits.
In addition, this book shows the technician the why of digital IC's-how they work, how to use them, and how to design with them. It tells how digital instruments work and how to design and build your own fully integrated IC systems.
Also, this book should be valuable to the engineer who is tired of wading through a stack of application notes and pre-IC computer books to try to find realistic and reasonable designs for such things as divide-by-n scalers, low-cost decimal counter/readouts, IC monostables, synchronizers, or other circuits. The three chapters on counting flip-flops, divide-by-n counting, and decimal counting provide circuits virtually ready to drop into systems for immediate use.
