Digital Integrated Circuits

By Thomas A. Demassa and DeMassa

Book Overview

Contains the most extensive coverage of digital integrated circuits available in a single source. Provides complete qualitative descriptions of circuit operation followed by in-depth analytical analyses and spice simulations. The circuit families described in detail are transistor-transistor logic (TTL, STTL, and ASTTL), emitter-coupled logic (ECL), NMOS logic, CMOS logic, dynamic CMOS, BiCMOS structures and various GASFET technologies. In addition to detailed presentation of the basic inverter circuits for each digital logic family, complete details of other logic circuits for these families are presented.

Detailed coverage with some errors

This is an excellent starting point for studying the transistor implementations of digital logic. It has detailed derivations which are not difficult to follow and give the reader a deep understanding of how such circuits work. After going through a few derivations, you should have no trouble deriving the characteristics (i.e. voltage and time) of many logic circuits. However, these derivations have some errors. If you are diligent, you will catch them, and it is actually good practice to do so. Still, it gets frustrating. Read with caution. Also, the problems are decent but a bit too easy overall.

A very good introductory book in digital circuits analysis

This book will serve as a good start for readers interested in the area of digital circuits. It's so easy to read and understand it becomes sometimes kinda boring. Everything you need is there, even some mathematical equalities. You are not going to consult other books in the area if you are a beginner as this seems to be the most down-to-earth one. If you're a little bit expert in the subject you might want to consult more advanced alternatives.

This is a great reference for transistor level logic design.

This text contains a lot of information on logic circuits, from an analog perspective. It is sort of a cookbook for logic but its principles can be applied to many circuits, digital and analog.
