Product Description
New third edition offers a start-to- finish approach to digital circuit design, beginning with simple circuits and advancing to highly complex circuits. Coverage runs from simple circuits easily constructed in the laboratory through complex circuits such as those used in memory systems, computers, and computer interfacing, including many examples of analysis and design. A solid introductory guide for electrical/electronics technicians and hobbyists. |

A wonderful practical approach by Ezequiel Martinez Vazquez (Bs. As., Argentina)  5 Stars
May 27, 2005
As an electronics student, this book proved a refreshing approach to Logical Design. A practical, hands-on sort of volume, it conveys the basic notions in all the usual subjects of a first Logical Design course, while introducing the student to many of the commercially available IC's. It may not be as complete as other texts, but it fulfills it's objectives admirably. After each chapter, I was able not only to grasp the basic concept of Decoders, Multiplexers, etc, but to learn two or three basic applications of these units.
A fine introduction to the subject, to be complemented with more in-depth books such as Wakerly or the like.

An Excellent Textbook by Michael E. Kirrane (Centennial, CO, USA) 5 Stars
April 11, 2001
Practical Digital Design Using ICs, by Joseph D. Greenfield, is the second best textbook that I have ever used for technical training. The author has done a wonderful job in presenting this elementary and fundamental material in the correct sequence and, above all, has written it in a manner that holds the interest of the student.I have used this textbook for many Digital Logic courses over the past twenty-plus years, without hesitation. I am very disappointed that this text is available only on an 'Available on Demand' basis. Please don't ever discontinue this book.There seems to be a tendency in America today to minimize the teaching of basics and fundamentals in favor of more high-tech aspects of engineering and science. It frustrates me that, even though the fundamentals never change, the fundamentals seem to get 'short shrift' in schools and colleges.Could this be why the US produces fewer and fewer competent technicians and engineers, making it necessary to 'import' technicians and engineers from Europe and Asia?Respectfully submitted,Michael E.
