Digital Electronics: An Integrated Laboratory Approach by Terry L. M. Bartelt, ISBN 0130931020
Few educators would argue the claim that today's students learn by doing. That's what Bartelt's "Digital Electronics" text is all about. Students are introduced to the basics of digital electronics through a conversational writing style and examples with which they can actually work. Each chapter includes examples of digital theory in action by utilizing the popular and powerful Electronics Workbench(R) software. Circuit files for each example are found on the CD that is packaged with the instructor's manual.
