From the basis of binary numbers to an introduction to digital computers, this book covers (with a lot of figures, examples, review questions and problems) logic gates, FFs (flip-flops), combinational circuits, way of reading datasheets, counters, D/A and A/D converters, memories, PLAs, PLDs, and so on.

I have used editions 2nd and 6th (ISBN 0133093867), and also browsed Ed. 7th, and some information gets updated as fundamentals' explanation is somehow improved. Moreover, Ed. 7th also includes a CD with simulation software and datasheets.

Be careful not to take the Study Guide instead of the textbook. I've made such a mistake in Amazon.

This is the best book to understand Digital Electronics with clear and simple explanations. The salient feature of this book is that it has lot of applications sprayed throughout which keeps the reader attentive and interested. A "Must Read" for graduate/undergraduate students in any university in the world.

This is the book for you. I am a 32 year old U.S. Army leader. I instruct at the U.S. Army Signal Center. I have no time for traditional education. This book is a masterful work and well suited for anyone who desires an intimate knowledge of digital systems, but has no prior background. If you don't have time
to take a traditional college course. GET THIS BOOK! Better than any classroom instruction this book will give you all the fundamentals in a clear and concise manner. Wonderful book.

Thank you Mr Tocci, for a job very well done!

For a student without a degree, this pretty much covers all sorts of technical stuff doing with protocols, storage and everything has diagrams, not of horrible quality either. Good keeper.

I used this book for a course on Digital Electronics. Its great. The book has a great typeset, clear and crisp fonts that go easy on the eyes, well structured (such that you read what you need in order to understand the next chapter). The book is illustrated with apt diagrams. I would consider this book to be beginner-intermediate. This book is a good starting point for learn digital stuff, and a good reference after you learn digital stuff. Its hard to find a book as good as this one.

I use this book for a digital course im taking. Its GREAT at conveying information in a manner that you can understand. It starts of SIMPLE (things like number systems), and takes you to the basics of circuits (AND, OR, NOR, NAND, NOR, gates), and then takes you into some very detailed things. By the time your done with this you will be able to design your OWN circuits and impress your friends :-)

It is an excellent book. It is so clear and straigtforward.
I don't even need a teacher. Just by reading this book, I can get an A. Every bit of important information is explained in a way that students can get the hange of it with the least amount of effort. If you don't want to spend too much money on the newest edition, go for the previous ones. They are fine books too.

Great Book! Helps understand basic and advanced digital design concepts with plenty of examples and problems! Best part, pictures with examples help every step of the way!

This is a great book for this type of intro course. It is easy to read and there are tons of examples and review questions with which you can check your answers.

This is a great book. Explains the material very well. Companion software is hard to learn but works well
