Who would have thought that a circuit comprising only two 2-input NAND gates could be so complicated (or, should we say, “interesting”)? Up to this point (click here to see my earlier columns), the ...

The often-quoted Moore 's Law says that we can expect processors to double in capacity every 18 months. And that has held true. Now computer scientists warn that - without some significant ...

Digital blocks contain combinational andsequential circuits. Sequential circuits are thestorage cells with outputs that reflect the pastsequence of their input values, whereas the outputof the ...

Discover how a low-dropout linear regulator and a programmable logic device can replace microcontrollers for enable/disable functions, reducing power consumption to just microamperes. The enable ...

[Tim] noticed recently that a large number of projects recreating discrete logic tend to do so with technology around 70 years old like resistor-transistor logic (RTL) or diode-transistor logic (DTL).
