Description
Digital electronics have not changed significantly in the past 20 years, but there are some newer books that may be more up to date. Digital electronics textbooks from the late 1970s and early 1980s are still being used as basic texts, but they do not provide strong links to modern electronics. One assumption made by all the standard texts is that experimentation with digital electronics is difficult. Myke Predko, a digital guru, will show how readers can set up their own apparatus for experimenting with digital electronics for less than $10.
The field of teaching digital electronics has not changed significantly in the past 20 years. Many of the same books that first became available in the late 1970s and early 1980s are still being used as basic texts. In the 20+ years since these were written, the basic rules have not changed, but they do not provide strong links to modern electronics including CMOS logic, Programmable Logic Devices and microprocessor/microcontroller interfacing. Courses teaching introductory digital electronics will fill in the missing areas of information for students, but neither the instructors nor students have resources to explain modern technology and interfaces. One assumption made by all the standard texts is that experimenting with digital electronics cannot be done easily - in the proposed book, "digital guru" Myke Predko will show how readers can set up their own apparatus for experimenting with digital electronics for less than $10.
