From Hands-on Electronics: A One-Semester Course for Class Instruction or Self-Study
In this chapter you will be introduced to digital logic. You will build some logic circuits out of discrete components and some out of integrated circuits, and familiarize yourself with the 7400 series of CMOS ( comple mentary metal-oxide-semiconductor) and TTL ( transistor transistor logic) integrated circuits and their basic operation.
Note
The kinds of things one thinks about in digital logic are almost completely different from those in analog electronics.
Apparatus required
Breadboard, oscilloscope, multimeter, 100 ?, 330 ?, 1 k, 2.2 k, and 3.3 k 1/4 W resistors, two VP0610L and two VN0610L MOSFET transistors, three 2N3904 transistors, three diodes, one LED, one red LED (optional), 74HC00, 7432, 7485, 7486 TTL or TTL-compatible logic chips, logic switches, and logic displays.
10.1 Digital logic basics
In this section we introduce the 7400 series of CMOS and TTL digital-logic chips. Unlike the analog ICs you ve used up to now, which can output any voltage within some range determined by the power-supply voltages, digital-logic ICs employ only two ranges of output voltages, referred to as logic levels, about which more below. These levels can be used to represent true or false logical conditions or the zero and one of binary arithmetic.
The 7400 series is not the only logic series, nor are CMOS and TTL the only types of logic circuitry; however, they are the most commonly used. Other logic families include the CMOS 4000 series and the ECL ( emitter-coupled logic) 10...
