Texas Instruments Consumer Circuits Data Book 1978

I bought this book at Marzaglia fair 2024. I have never owned a data book, so this was a chance to fill that gap.

The index looks very interesting. You can see how many specialised integrated circuits were designed and, probably, produced. 

My eyes stopped on "Timekeeping Application" and "Game Chips". That's something today you can do with one microcontroller, you can even dare to squeeze the whole index of this book into a single firmware.

Zoom in on these two pages from the index (click on them) and see what you needed to build a not-so-complex application back in the 1970's.



For your convenience and for search engines, here is an OCR extract of the two images above.
