Hi All
Preface
The technology of timekeeping has changed dramatically in recent years due, in
part, to the development of microelectronic circuitry. Digital electronic
wristwatches would have been the size of refrigerators in the early 1950s, and
the size of cigar boxes in the late 1960s. This book presents a brief history
of timekeeping and some fundamentals of various mechanical, electrical,
electronic, and atomic timekeepers.
The basic principles of digital logic and its application to electronic
timekeeping circuits are explored. The different families of digital logic
circuits and readout devices used in clocks and watches are described.
Chapter 6 compares the characteristics and applications of many popular LSI
clock and watch circuits and presents some circuit hints. Chapters 7 and 8
describe commercially available electronic time-keepers. The detailed
examination of some of these products will give the electronics experimenter,
the clock enthusiast, and the engineer a better grasp of the circuits and
techniques used.
Chapter 9 presents two construction projects for the do-it-your-selfers. Both
have been tested extensively and will work if the instructions are followed.
The two appendices contain data on some of the ICs and readouts mentioned in
the text and the names and addresses of sources of components and kits.
The brief bibliography will open up a vast store of knowledge to those
interested in pursuing the fascinating avenues of timekeeping.
Very much of book of the 1970' state-of-the art.
