This best-selling book has become the standard reference to TTL devices. It tells what they are, how they work, and how to use them. It also covers TTL basics, a catalog of devices, logic gates, flip-flops, shift registers, and rate multipliers. It is filled with circuits and practical applications.

Bad margins and binding
3 out of 5 stars
Bad margins and binding
5 stars for content, 1 star for build quality. The margins are nearly an inch on the outside edges, but the gutter allowance is almost nil, making it very difficult to read even while holding it firmly open. It doesn't lie open for reading even after considerable forceful bending of the spine. To make any use of it while working, I have to use a book stand with clips to hold it open.

5.0 out of 5 stars A gem
Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2016
Verified Purchase
I picked up this book based on a recommendation in Charles Platt's Make:Electronics.

Truly, this book is a gem. Although written in 1974, it is still relevant, useful and interesting. While TTLs aren't used much these days, anyone wanting to learn about electronics should familiarize themselves with TTL technology. And for that, there isn't a better book than this.

It should be noted that this isn't an introductory book -- the target audience is a working engineer who already knows electronics. But if you've read Make:Electronics (and perhaps Make:More Electronics) and done the experiments, you should have no trouble with this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best introduction to logic design
Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2014
Verified Purchase
I read this book when it was first published, and immediately was able to apply the lessons I learned. Lancaster writes clearly and succinctly, and makes it all very approachable. He also goes beyond the basics, and discusses the use of various logic functions in less than obvious applications. I loaned this book to my then boss, a relay logic guy, and he learned enough in one sitting to recognize a couple of minor errors.

We're well past the days of TTL, but I recommend this volume without reservation, as I have not yet found a better introduction to logic design.

5.0 out of 5 stars TTL Cookbook
Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2014
Verified Purchase
I haven't designed anything using TTL in about twenty years. Purchased the book for information either I didn't know or have forgotten. I'm in the process of working on a sizable project. My first version was TTL; there seems to be more chips available with TTL since the mid '90s, at least of those I remember. This book addresses some of them. However, except for many 74AC164Bs (where I needed the current capability) I converted it to B series CMOS. One issue I had with the TTL version was the limited drive capability. CMOS eliminated that problem. In other cases where I needed more than 1ma, FETs fit the bill. If your interest is TTL, this book is great for general information.

4.0 out of 5 stars nearly obsolete, but still good digital study book
Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2012
Verified Purchase
The TTL Cookbook is nearly identical to the CMOS cookbook. Having purchased both at the same time, I found myself skimming through the TTL book as reference, then turned to the CMOS book to actually read.
Simply said, they are nearly identical and there are some sections that are verbatim between the two books.
I doubt I will ever work with real TTL devices since CMOS has replaced it so well.. even mimicking TTL's voltage characteristics in later CMOS versions.
One quarter of the book is TTL datasheets.. which is useful reference. But on the whole, I skimmed the book, set it down and have not opened it back up since the CMOS Cookbook is more current and pretty much the same thing on the scope of logic study.
If I had known the two books were so similar, I'd probably not have bought the TTL Cookbook. Still a good book to understand digital logic though.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Reference for TTL hackers
Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2012

I used this book a lot back when I was doing TTL work a couple of decades ago. CMOS is seen to be an improvement over TTL and has mostly replaced it. But I recently got some TTL in a parts lot, and intend to use some, and this book is an excellent guide both to logic design in general and a reference to individual devices (which mainly have one page per device) as well.

If you are planning to use TTL, get this book. It's the best I have ever seen on the subject.

Almost every time I've gone to look for a specific 74LS chip in this book, it's not listed.
Lots are, but plenty aren't.

Good background / general information though.

In the modern world of microcontrollers and complex custom parts, the aging 74xx series TTL chips don't get much attention these days, but they're still around and the general concepts outlined in this book still apply. It's a classic book, well written, and provides a good lesson in digital logic. I've had a copy of this book for years and still refer to it regularly.

This and its sibling CMOS Cookbook are great reference guides for the generic discrete IC / chips found in retro computing systems and many embedded microprocessor/controller boards. Very glad I now have both in my technical reference library and expect to use them when debugging various projects and retro-computers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ein Klassiker. Etwas angestaubt vielleicht, aber nach wie vor hilfreich und übersichtlich.
Reviewed in Germany on November 11, 2015

Eine super Einführung in die wichtigsten CMOS-Bausteine aus der CD4er Serie plus Ergänzungen. Jeder Typ wird auf einer eigenen Seite mit seiner Funktion und Spezifikation vorgestellt. Ein Kapitel zur Einführung über die CMOS-Technik und ihre Geschichte sowie wichtige Basics ist der Auflistung vorangestellt. Zahlreiche nach Anwendung geordnete Einsatzbeispiele der Schaltkreise im nachfolgenden umfangreichen Buchteil runden diesen Klassiker ab.

Sicher: alle Infos sind heutzutage ja auf zahlreichen Internetseiten zu finden und noch weit über den Inhalt hier hinaus. Doch punktet das analoge Buch hier mit Übersicht, kluger und praktischer Kapitelordnung. Hat man schnell zur Hand. Und für weiterführende Infos bleibt einem ja immer noch der Blick ins www.

Klare Kaufempfehlung für alle, die nach wie vor mit CMOS basteln, experimentieren, umgehen oder etwas mehr wissen wollen oder einen schnellen Überblick brauchen oder das Buch einfach nur in der Sammlung haben wollen.

Dass es sich - zumindest bei meinem Exemplar - um eine Kopie aus Indien handelt, was man auch merkt, störte mich eigentlich gar nicht. Denn der Inhalt bleibt ja der gleiche und das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis stimmt sowieso.
