This review is from: Digital Electronics: Principles and Applications, Experiments Manual (Paperback)

This is quite an excellent lab manual for the enthusiast or beginner of electronics. This specific lab manual, along with the textbook is quite informative and helpeful. It contains such experiments as making BCD and LED counters and the like. Through the principles I've learned through this lab manual, I've even been successful in building my own multi function calculator. Very helpful and informative.

3.0 out of 5 stars a good book for brief theorotical overview, June 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Digital Electronics (Basic Skills in Electricity and Electronics) (Hardcover)

this is an excellent book for someone who wants to practically work on some basic digital circuits.this book provides good reading for practical applications and also provides a brief run through of the theorotical knowledge required for a particular circuit.it includes chapters on boolean algebra,combinational and sequential logic circuits and families and chapters on flip flops,counters and registers.however this book is certainly not meant for someone who is looking for some theorotical depth in the subject.
