Chapter 1 - Digital Electronics
Chapter Overview
This chapter introduces you
to digital electronics. Digital electronics is the world
of the calculator, the computer, the integrated circuit,
and the binary numbers 0 and 1. This is an exciting field
within electronics because the uses for digital circuits
are expanding so rapidly. One small integrated circuit can
perform the task of thousands of transistors, diodes, and
resistors.
You see digital circuits in operation
every day. At stores the cash registers read out digital
displays. The tiny pocket calculators verge on becoming
personal computers. All sizes of computers perform complicated
tasks with fantastic speed and accuracy. Factory machines
are controlled by digital circuits. Digital clocks and watches
flash the time. Most automobiles use microprocessors to
control engine functions. Technicians use digital voltmeters
and frequency counters.
All persons working in electronics
must now understand digital electronic circuits. The inexpensive
integrated circuit has made the subject of digital electronics
easy to study. You will use many integrated circuits to
construct digital circuits.
