Anyone know any good websites or books where I can learn more about
Digital ICs?
I'm interested in multiplexers, latches, etc.
I'd like the Stamp II to control about 100 LEDs.
I found these titles at www.bn.com, has anyone read them?
Digital IC Gallery: All You Need to Know about the Latest TTL and
CMOS Devices by Clement Pepper
Newnes Digital IC Pocket Book, Vol. 3
by R. M. Marston
Thanks in advance.

Here's one that I used years ago:
Fundamentals of Digital Electronics
A Laboratory Text
by George B. Rutkowski & Jerome E. Oleksy
Prentice-Hall, Inc.
>Digital ICs?
I still think the best book is the 'CMOS Cookbook', by Don Lancaster
<www.tinaja.com>. It's a bit dated, because PLDs and FPGAs (programmable
logic devices) aren't covered, but it contains the most lucid introductory
material on digital logic ever offered. My second choice would be Clive
Maxfield's 'Bebop to the Boolean Boogie'.
PLDs are by far the most common way of implementing logic in new designs,
so you should learn about them as soon as you get a grasp on the
fundamentals! Modern PLDs have enough logic to replace dozens to hundreds
of CMOS logic chips, and the design tools have matured nicely...

III and his books in the Engineer's Mini-Notebook series? I don't
know if these are appropriate or not for you. You can read the table
of contents for these on-line at
<http://www.radioshack.com/sw/swb/bookshelf/emn/default.htm>.
"The Art of Electronics" by Horowitz and Hill also covers digital ICs
as well as everything else electronic in an easy to read style. It
has a web site at <http://www.artofelectronics.com/>.

Well, I scanned the bookshelves, and discovered that I don't really have
any strong candidates. I seem to have picked up the little knowledge I get
by with from a number of non-ideal sources. In fact, I once suggested to
Don Lancaster that his TTL and CMOS Cookbooks should have been followed
with a PLD Cookbook... Perhaps he's too busy spelunking or selling surplus
on eBay. Anyway, here are a few titles worth mentioning:
Field-Programmable Devices, 2nd Ed. 1995
By: Stephen D. Brown
Pub: Stan Baker Associates, Los Gatos, CA
(came with a video tape)
Designing With Programmable Array Logic, 1981
The Technical Staff of Monolithic Memories
McGraw Hill
VHDL for Programmable Logic, 1996
Kevin Skahill (Cypress Semiconductor)
Addison Wesley
This book is supplied with Cypress' WARP toolset, which is amazingly cheap
($149?) and includes an in-system device programming cable. It's excellent
if you're inclined to use an HDL (hardware description language), as
opposed to a graphical design environment.
The manual originally supplied with OrCAD PLD
(sorry, I've lost my copy)
Max + Plus II Getting Started, 1997
Altera Corporation
(supplied with Altera's logic design software)
This item is probably supplied as part of the documentation with the free
version of Altera's MaxPlus toolset, which I strongly recommend to almost
anyone who wants to leap into CPLD design immediately. All you need in
addition is a few in-system-programmable chip samples, and an Altera
ByteBlaster programming cable. You could even fabricate the cable (the
schematic for it was published in Altera's Device Data Book). Be Happy!

Take a look at the Zilinx. They have the widest
range of programmable logic, development tools
are available for a subsection of their line for free
on the site and the devises are available at ok prices
through DigiKey.

have fun
Grab a copy of The TTL Cookbook (by Lancaster, as I recall). A classic,
easy to read, assumes no starting knowledge, and quickly gives you a great
digital foundation.

How about a source or two for PLD education, if handy.
Thanks in advance.
