Book Description

ISBN-10: 0675213347 | ISBN-13: 978-0675213349 | Publication Date: July 16, 1997 | Edition: 1st

Following the success of Introductory DC/AC Electronics and Introductory Semiconductor Electronics, Nigel Cook was besieged with requests to follow with an Introductory Digital Electronics book using the same reader-friendly writing style, practical treatment, real-world applications, and troubleshooting that made his other books come to life for the technician-level audience. The book covers binary numbers and logic gates to programmable logic devices and microprocessor-based systems. This book blends basic digital electronic theory with the latest in digital technology. To prepare the reader for the workplace; manufacturer data sheets are integrated into the book, application circuit examples are included, extensive troubleshooting techniques and procedures are applied to all combined chapter application circuits, and the final chapter contains a detailed component-level description of a microprocessor-based system, including schematic diagram interpretation, troubleshooting procedures and typical system faults.

3.0 out of 5 stars "Caution: B&W Copy of Colorful Original", January 16, 2008

This review is from: Introductory Digital Electronics (Hardcover)

I like Nigel Cook's technical writing style and have enjoyed his other electronics textbooks from Prentice Hall. They have typically been top-quality binding, excellent color printing & graphics, on high-quality non-yellowing paper. Exercise CAUTION in your consideration of purchasing this edition: IT IS A B&W COPY OF THE ORIGINAL, on what appears to be high-grade Xerographic paper, with NO color anything... pix, graphics, titles, etc. I am very disappointed that the book description does not highlight this fact. The price should be adjusted accordingly.
