Modern CMOS Circuits Manual

by R.M. Marston

Published 1 January 1988
The CMOS Cookbook contains all you need to know to understand and successfully use CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor) integrated circuits. Written in a "cookbook" format that requires little math, this practical, user-oriented book covers all the basics for working with digital logic and many of its end appilations.

Whether you're a newcomver to logic and electronics or a senior design engineer, you'll find CMOS Cookbook and its examples helpful as a self-learning guide, a reference handbook, a project-idea book, or a text for teaching others digital logic at the high school through university levels.

In the pages of this revised edition, you'll discover:

*What CMOS is, who makes it, and how the basic transistors, inverters, and logic and transmission gates work

*CMOS usage rules, power-suppy examples, and information on breadboards, state testing, tools, and interfacing

*Discussions of the latest CMOS devices and sub-families, including the 74C, 74HC, and 74HCT series that streamline TTL and CMOS interfacing

*An in-depth look at multivibrators - including astable, monostable, and bistable - and linear techniques

*Clocked-logic designs and the extensive applications of JK and D-type flip-flops

*A helpful appendix featuring a TTL-to-CMOS conversion chart



Security Electronics Circuits Manual is an invaluable guide for engineers and technicians in the security industry. It will also prove to be a useful guide for students and experimenters, as well as providing experienced amateurs and DIY enthusiasts with numerous ideas to protect their homes, businesses and properties.

As with all Ray Marston's Circuits Manuals, the style is easy-to-read and non-mathematical, with the emphasis firmly on practical applications, circuits and design ideas. The ICs and other devices used in the practical circuits are modestly priced and readily available types, with universally recognised type numbers. This title replaces the popular 'Electronic Alarm Circuits Manual'.

Ray Marston has proved, through hundreds of circuits articles and books, that he is one of the leading circuit designers and writers in the world. He has written extensively for Popular Electronics, Electronics Now, Electronics and Beyond, Electronics World, Electronics Today International, Nuts and Bolts, and Electronics Australia, amongst others.
