Engineer’s Notebook: Integrated Circuit Applications

by Forrest M. Mims III

The book started with a review of the IC Basics and packaging. There is a primer on digital logic. Then, it cover individual CMOS, TTL and Linear ICs. Each page is covered with careful hand-drawn circuit illustrations and many examples of tested circuits.

Since this edition was published in 1979, it is very dated now. However, most of these chips are still around and is still a good reference for low level logic projects.

[Trey Rowzie · Rating 5 out of 5]

To the chagrin of my parents, this book keep me up more nights than I cared to admit. It was my first electronics book and filled my mind with daydreams of the projects I could create from it. One of my pre-teen treasures.
