Pragmatic Electrical Engineering / Synthesis Lectures on Digital Circuits & Systems (PDF)

William J. Eccles has been a professor of electrical and computer engineering at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology since 1990 (except for one year at Oklahoma State). He retired in 1990 as Distinguished Professor Emeritus after 25 years at the University of South Carolina. He founded the Department of Computer Science at that university and served at one time or another as head of four different departments, Computer Science, Mathematics and Computer Science, and Electrical and Computer Engineering, all at South Carolina, and Electrical and Computer Engineering at Rose-Hulman. Most of his teaching has been in circuits and in microprocessor systems. He has published Microprocessor Systems: A 16-Bit Approach (Addison-Wesley, 1985) and numerous monographs on circuits, systems, microprocessor programming, and digital logic design. Bill has also published Pragmatic Circuits: DC and Time Domain, Pragmatic Circuits: Frequency Domain, Pragmatic Circuits: Signals and Filters, and Pragmatic Logic, four texts in this Synthesis Lectures in Digital Circuits and Systems series. Bill and his wife Trish have two children and three grandchildren. Bill is also a conductor (appropriate for an electrical engineer) on the Whitewater Valley Railroad, a tourist line in Connersville, IN. He is a registered professional engineer and an amateur radio operator.
