 This book teaches the basic principles of digital circuits. It is appropriate for an introductory course in digital electronics for the students of:

 • B.Sc. (Computer Science)
 • B.Sc. (Electronics)
 • B.Sc. (Information Technology)
 • B.Sc. (Physics)
 • Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA)
 • Postgraduate Diploma in Computer Applications
 • Master of Computer Applications (MCA)

The book emphasizes the must know concepts that should be covered in an introductory course and provides an abundance of clearly explained examples, so essential for a thorough understanding of the principles involved in the analysis and design of digital computers. The book takes students step-by-step through digital theory, focusing on:

 » Number representation systems and codes for representing information in digital systems
 » Use of logic gates in building digital circuits
 » Basic postulates and theorems of Boolean algebra
 » Karnaugh map method for simplifying Boolean functions
 » Arithmetic circuits such as adders and subtractors
 » Combinational circuit building blocks such as multiplexers, decoders and encoders
 » Sequential circuit building blocks such as flip-flops, counters and registers
 » Operation of memory elements such as RAM, DRAM, magnetic disk, magnetic bubble, optical disk, etc.
