CHAPTER<br />

Digital <strong>Electronics</strong><br />

Digital electronics is a large branch of the electrical-electronics<br />

field relating <strong>to</strong> those electronic functions used<br />

in performing logical functions. It encompasses every<br />

type of logical system from simple combinational logic<br />

control in a coffee pot <strong>to</strong> the largest computer systems.<br />

The concept of digital control is not new. Even before<br />

the first computer appeared, or solid-state electronics<br />

came in<strong>to</strong> being, large banks of relays were performing<br />

logical control functions in industrial facilities.<br />
