Digital Logic Systems

Course Number: 791

The Digital Logic Systems textbook compares analog and digital switching circuits. It explains Boolean logic functions and describes TTL and CMOS logic, as well as IC logic devices. It explains how flip-flops, clock circuits, counters, multiplexers, and memory circuits work, and describes the sections and interfaces in functional logic systems, including microprocessors. It concludes by describing proper methods for detection and correction of common fault potentials.
