Digital Logic
« on: March 04, 2011, 03:27:52 am »
Dave could you do a tutorial on digital logic circuits starting with Boolean Algebra then going on to more complex circuits such as binary counters, half adders, full adders etc... and the pros and cons of different logic levels such as TTL, and CMOS.

That's an awful lot to cover!

Also, if your learning about boolean algebra, look into k-maps. They're pretty useful and interesting.

Well maby just the basics then such as the basic logic opperations such as AND OR NOT and an intro into Boolean logic.

Really, what is the issue with looking that up in a textbook, or even on wikipedia?

This is really basic stuff everybody involved in electronics should know about.
Dave would have his work cut out to cover it all.

Get a copy of the old yellow TI 74 logic databook (also available as PDF file!), that covers most of it.
Learn how to use truth tables - I find them most helpful.
Get a couple of old 74xx chips and a breadboard and play around with it. I've always preferred learning by doing, we used to do that at school in technology classes.
I don't know if they still do it today, probably all microcontrollers these days. I still think that basic knowledge of logic gates, boolean algebra and how it all works in real hardware is absolutely essential.

I remember years ago while working as a service engineer the company launched a new machine. Well I say launched, it escaped from R&D.
It turned out that the designer being unused to TTL had 'forgotten' to decouple the power rails.....not a one! At a service meeting one of the engineers (Mechanical bias) asked what TTL stood for 'Trust To Luck' I quipped. Service manager was not a happy man, especially when Martin (the electronics designer) got to hear. Well it made me laugh... :)

One of my profs recommended this book:

http://www.amazon.com/Schaums-Outline-Digital-Principles-Tokheim/dp/0070650500

It is a rather nice book.
