16.1 INTRODUCTION
Digital electronics find applications in computers, calculators, integrated
circuits, and many digital devices and circuits. Digital circuits are being used
in many applications like in display devices, digital clocks, digital counters,
digital instruments, etc. A small integrated circuit (chip) can perform tasks of
large number of transistors, diodes, resistors, etc. Digital electronics is an
interesting subject of study.
Digital electronics includes electronic systems that use digital signals.
Digital electronics or any digital circuit are usually made from large
