FEATURES

1. Provides a practical context for every technique, principle, and discussion which helps to understand the relationship between a set of basic physical principles and their application to a system with which they are familiar.
2. Coverage of a limited number of topics. In this way, the text concentrates on a core set of topics.
Introduces topics "just in time" when they are needed for the digital systems theme. In this way, readers benefit by concentrating on important, immediately useful techniques rather than information they might use someday.
3. Provides mathematical examples worked out in their entirety.
4. All examples use realistic component values: kilohms, picofarads, and millihenrys rather than ohms, farads, and henrys.
