4.0 out of 5 stars Good tutorial in digital logic and design for EE undergrads, May 28, 2006

This review is from: Schaum's Outline of Digital Principles (Paperback)

This Schaum's outline is great for electrical engineering undergraduate students who are taking a first course in digital logic and digital circuit design. It starts out with the binary number system and the various binary codes and then moves on to logic gates. The theory that allows the simplifying of circuits and the substitution of one set of logic gates for another is also covered. The last 60% of the book involves an introduction to the various base devices used in logic design: flip-flops, counters, shift registers, memory devices, and adders among others. Each section shows how more sophisticated devices can be described in terms of the simpler devices already introduced. For students who want a more in-depth treatment of the synthesis and simplification of switching and logic circuits and more advanced Boolean algebra theory than this book provides, I suggest "Schaum's Outline of Boolean Algebra and Switching Circuits".
The only negative thing I have to say is that most of the problems in the outline involve analysis of circuits rather than circuit design, which is usually the main point of any digital electronics class, even a beginning one. However, I would still recommend it as a supplement.

This review is from: Schaum's Outline of Digital Principles (Paperback)

I had to get back to digital principles years after I took the course during my under-grad. The book served a real good purpose for this. For it's price, I think it's the best in the category and yet simple enough for beginners to understand. The examples are really helpful.

This review is from: Schaum's Outline of Digital Principles (Paperback)

I used this book to study binary codes for a work related test. I knew nothing about binary codes & this book made it easier to understand than what I had expected. I didn't go through the whole book, yet, but the part I needed for the test was well written.
