Description
The eighth edition of Digital Electronics: Principles and Applications provides a concise, modern approach to this fascinating subject. It has been written so that a so that a student needs no prior knowledge of electrical theory and principles and at a level that allows students with limited math and reading skills can gain a clear understanding of concepts and application covered in a digital electronics course. The textbook has been noted for its easy-to-read style and colorful illustrations. It is ideal for a wide range of electronics courses, especially programs in which students must learn the essentials and quickly apply them to real job situations.
Features
New examples, self-test questions and Chapter review questions and problems in every Chapter!
New coverage of renewable energy topics.
Concepts are connnected to practical applications, and a systems approach is followed that reflects current industry practice.
The Online Learning Center at www.mhhe.com/tokheim8e includes comprehensive Miltisim files, keyed to circuits found in the eighth edition, and a Multisim primer which provides a tutorial on the software for new users. (The Multisim program itself is not included on the website, but the latest version, version 12, can be purchased through McGraw-Hill at a discount when you adopt this textbook.
Online Learning Center (OLC) includes a wealth of instructor resources, including:
An Instructor's Manual that includes a list of parts and equipment needed to perform lab experiments, learning outcomes for each chapter, answers to chapter review questions and problems, and more.
PowerPoint presentations that correlate to all chapters and special PowerPoint presentations on bread-boarding, soldering, circuit interrupters (GFCI and AFCI), and instrumentation.
A test generator, EZ Test, which includes a test bank for each chapter.
An Experiments Manual for Digital Electronics contains a comprehensive test, a variety of hands-on lab exercises and experiments, and additional problems for each chapter in the textbook.
