INTRODUCTION

The distinguishing feature of the circuits to be discussed in this chapter is the use of two-valued, or binary, signals. There will be some deviation of the signals from their nominal values, but within certain limits this variation will not affect the performance of the circuit. If the variations exceed these limits, the circuit will not behave properly, and steps must be taken ...
