O autorze

Shimon Peter Vingron was born in Vienna, Austria, in 1936 and fled to England before the War with his family returning to Vienna in 1947. He studied mechanical engineering, physics and automation obtaining the degrees Ing., Dipl.-Ing., Dr. techn. and worked in industry in Germany and Austria. He lectured at the Ruhr University Bochum (Germany) and the Technische Universität Vienna,(Austria) and taught at the Engineering College Mödling, Austria. While at the Austrian Academy of Sciences he did research on sequential circuit theory. He has 2 patents, is the co-author of 2 books, and the author of 3.

Blurb

The 2^nd edition has been thoroughly revised and is intended as a wakeup call in the stagnant and dormant field of switching algebra and logic circuit design. It presents the material in a concise but thorough way. The topics selected are an in-depth presentation of switching algebra, a theory of memory circuits (sometimes called flop flops), a new approach to asynchronous circuits, and a newly added part presenting a unique programming technique (or language) for programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Be ready for the unorthodox and controversial.

• Presents fundamentally new methods for circuit design;
• Covers combinational circuits, latches and asynchronous circuits;
• Includes a unique programming technique for PLCs.
