This best selling book is well known for effectively combining a clear, highly-accurate explanation of theory--supported by superior exercises, examples, and illustrations--and an emphasis on troubleshooting and applications using actual devices. The Ninth Edition features stronger coverage of key areas (including two new chapters on Programmable Logic Devices), new exercises throughout the text, and an improved pedagogical framework. It includes two specially designed sections which link principles to real world practices--a Digital System Application section in every chapter, and practical Workbench activities throughout the text. Plus, Digital Fundamentals, Ninth Edition features an exciting full color format which uses color to enhance the instructional value of photographs, illustrations, tables, charts, and graphs. Throughout the text's coverage, the use of mathematics is limited to only those concepts that are needed for understanding. Floyd's acclaimed troubleshooting emphasis, as always, provides students with the problem solving experience they need to step out of the classroom and into a job!
