Work with CMOS or TTL digital ICs? Use op amps and other linear devices? Then you need this handy reference! For each device, you’ll find pin-outs and internal circuit diagrams, truth tables and/or timing charts, all important operating specs (like supply voltages, fan-out, clocking frequencies, etc.) along with hundreds of applications circuits. Among the applications you’ll find are timebase generators, fluid detectors, function generators, ultrasonic transceivers, high gain audio amplifiers, active filters, audio compandors, multivibrators, magnitude comparators, counters.

If you need an application circuit using popular, readily available ICs, it’s probably in this book! There’s also reference material on working with ICs, including circuit construction and power supply requirements. Over 250 large-format pages. Here are just a few of the applications you'll find:

o) A terrific selection of amplifiers, including high-performance audio types
    and summing and difference amplifiers used in analog computation
o) Filters, including low pass, high pass, bandpass, and clippers
o) Bus transceivers and bus buffers for interfacing digital circuits
o) Audio compressors and expanders for speech processing
o) Counters ranging from a simple "divide by 2" circuit to advanced
    divide by 120 and automatic recycling versions
o) Magnitude and equality comparators for digital "words"
o) FSK modulators and decoders
o) A wide selection of oscillators, include sine, square, and sawtooth
    waveform output designs
o) Voltage regulator and voltage level detectors
o) A collection of fun applications, such as LED flashers, fluid level detectors,
    and even an ultrasonic ranging system
