This easy-to-learn-from resource emphasizes practical application–of circuit design, operation, and troubleshooting. Programmable Logic Devices (FPGAs) are integrated within most chapters as a modern alternative to 7400-Series ICs.Circuit operational notes clarify illustrations to provide students quick insight into circuit operation.Margin annotations point out common misconceptions, team discussions, and helpful hints.Over 1,000 annotated figures offer descriptive, colour annotations that reinforce the fundamental concepts of book. Plentiful problems and examples–take students from theory to application. Electronics Workbench/MultiSIM examples and troubleshooting problems–Provide computer simulation of design and troubleshooting of digital circuits.Schematic interpretation problems–Gives students experience interpreting real-world circuits and ICs in complete system schematic diagrams.Timing waveforms–Gives students experience interpreting the waveforms they will encounter on the job when using oscilloscopes and logic analyzers.Design and troubleshooting problems–Asks students to modify existing circuits, as well as diagnose circuits for proper operation.

Thoroughly updated and rewritten–the ninth edition offers the latest coverage of circuit design. Rewritten examples and applicationsbased on the author's classroom experienceGreatly expanded coverage of Programmable Logic DevicesIncludes the steps involved in converting from 7400-series ICs to FPGAsBeginning- and intermediate-level VHDL programming taught by example (Note: VHDL and FPGA coverage is optional, and it’s omission will not affect the remainder of the text.) New Problem sets–and examples. New basic- and intermediate-level problem setsNew MultiSIM examples and problemsReal-world and “Green” applications added to several examplesNew and revised annotated figuresInternet references added throughout
