Switching Theory And Logic Design is a comprehensive guide to understanding how to use the Switching Theory to logically design digital circuits, for anyone working or studying in the electrical and electronics field. Summary Of The Book Switching theory is the study of circuits including their design, behavior and structure. It relies on Boolean logic, which is the basic component of new age digital switching systems. It involves the study of the properties of idealized switches. Logic design is the basic organization of circuits in a digital computer. Students pursuing telecommunication, electrical and electronics, information technology and computer science, electronics and communication, instrumentation and electronics engineering will find Switching Theory And Logic Design extremely helpful. It would be an asset to students studying for IETE, AMIE and diploma courses.  The book has been written keeping the students in mind. It is simple and has in-depth information about the techniques in design and switching theory of digital circuits. There is a fine balance between theoretical and practical knowledge in the book. Topics like algorithmic state machines, number systems, logic gates, binary codes, design of combinational logic circuits, boolean algebra, asynchronous and synchronous sequential circuits, are all covered. Essential topics like programmable logic devices and threshold gates are also included. The author has explained the concept of shift registers and flip-flops in detail. Every topic in this book has well laid out examples that explain all the relevant concepts in detail. This helps students get a complete understanding of the subjects related to designing concepts. Each chapter ends with a wide array of questionnaires and provides clear and concise answers. Students are also presented with multiple choice questions that will help them understand the topics discussed. There are also review questions included. The diverse set of question formats presented will be an added advantage for students preparing for their examinations. Switching Theory And Logic Design has eight sections. The author gives an extensive explanation of codes and number systems in the first chapter. Switching Functions and Boolean Algebra are explained in the next section. The third part deals with Minimization of Switching Functions. Combinational Logic Design is the fourth chapter. The fifth section covers information regarding Threshold Logic and Programmable Logic Devices. Sequential Circuits: I and II are explained in the sixth and seventh chapters respectively. The eighth and final chapter in this book covers the topic of Algorithmic State Machines. About A. Anand Kumar A. Anand Kumar is a dean, professor and author.
