Introduction
Integrated Circuits (or ICs) are the building blocks from which modern electronic circuits are assembled. They save a lot of time in construction and give better performance than similar circuits built from separate components and, above all, are incredibly space saving. In these respects they are a big step ahead of single transistors and have made it easier for amateur constructors--as well as professionals--to build working circuits.
There are thousands of different types of ICs, each of which may be adaptable to many different working circuits (although some of the more complex ones are designed with a limited range of application). This can be quite bewildering, especially knowing how and where to start. However, from the point of view of using ICs and putting them to work, there is no need at all to know the actual circuits they contain--merely what type of circuit they contain and how their leads or pins are connected to other components to complete a working circuit.
That is what this guide is about. It explains and "classifies" integrated circuits in simple terms. It covers the various ways in which the simplest ICs--op-amps--can be worked and describes a whole range of working circuits based on selected--and inexpensive--integrated circuits.
In this revised edition, several new projects have been added, some using recently developed ICs. All in all, this guide features 117 different working projects you can build. In fact it is really a basic -- and essentially practical -- "course" on understanding and using integrated circuits.
