Review

A clear and complete look at CMOS! This easy-to-follow text is targeted for beginning- to intermediate-level users. Covers the latest CMOS series of devices and subfamilies. Presents tabular comparisons to earlier versions. Includes a TIL and CMOS interfacing and functional equivalency conversion chart. Requires a minimum of math. -- H.W. Sams --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Product Description

The CMOS Cookbook contains all you need to know to understand and successfully use CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor) integrated circuits. Written in a "cookbook" format that requires little math, this practical, user-oriented book covers all the basics for working with digital logic and many of its end appilations.

Whether you're a newcomver to logic and electronics or a senior design engineer, you'll find CMOS Cookbook and its examples helpful as a self-learning guide, a reference handbook, a project-idea book, or a text for teaching others digital logic at the high school through university levels.

In the pages of this revised edition, you'll discover:

*What CMOS is, who makes it, and how the basic transistors, inverters, and logic and transmission gates work

*CMOS usage rules, power-suppy examples, and information on breadboards, state testing, tools, and interfacing

*Discussions of the latest CMOS devices and sub-families, including the 74C, 74HC, and 74HCT series that streamline TTL and CMOS interfacing

*An in-depth look at multivibrators - including astable, monostable, and bistable - and linear techniques

*Clocked-logic designs and the extensive applications of JK and D-type flip-flops

*A helpful appendix featuring a TTL-to-CMOS conversion chart

5.0 out of 5 stars Read this book or you'll be sorry., August 26, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Cmos Cookbook (Paperback)

If you're interested in digital design, this book is a must-read.
In very little time, you will gain an intuitive feel for digital hardware design, and understand how to design useful circuits.

I first read this book in high school, about 20 years ago.
Since then, I completed an EE degree at Cornell, and have practiced as an engineer.
Nothing I ever read was a useful as this book, and I still regularly refer to it.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm not really under 13..., March 26, 2006

A Kid's Review

...This was just an easier way of expressing my opinion.

This book has been absolutely crucial to my GCSE and A Level studies, as its simplified datasheets and useful information aboout how to use the ICs are exactly what you need for designing small circuits on the component level.

Although, yes, you can get all this and more for free on the internet, the book is smaller than a computer, and is right by you with all the information in one place.

It certainly has its place in my library.

4.0 out of 5 stars even non-hobbyists can enjoy it, January 14, 2007

By	Ilya (Redmond, WA) - See all my reviews

Not being an electronics hobbyist (and not having the time to start such a hobby), I nevertheless enjoyed this short hobby book. First, I finally (at long last!) understood, how a field-effect transistor works. Second, having recently read an article by Carver Mead on the limits of MOS scaling in Feynman's Festschrift, I wanted to understand better, how MOS technology works. Of course, studying submicrometer MOS by looking at hobby chips is like studying the anatomy of a mouse by looking at a blue whale. Third, I was impressed by the Amazon review of his TTL Cookbook: "It was like a grimoire or spell-book: each example made me say "Wow!" in a way no non-fiction book had or has, before or since." Too bad my stepson shows no interest in engineering. However, his how-to-start-a-business book The Incredible Secret Money Machine II has one of the most vitriolic Amazon reviews I have ever seen.
