The previous article examined the concept of logic gates. They can be made from discrete and active electronic components, although today logic gates are available within integrated circuits. In this ...

Before the era of large-scale integration (LSI) semiconductor circuits, discrete logic circuits using the common diode-transistor logic (DTL) were still necessary and available in a format that was ...

When starting a new electronics project today, one of the first things that we tend to do is pick the integrated circuits that make up the core of the design. This can be anything from a ...

March 29, 1961 - LOGICAL microcircuits in transistor cans are now being offered by four major companies. Heavy research and production is being pressed by Fairchild Semiconductor Corp., Raytheon Co., ...

I fear the topic of this column is poised to unleash a tsunami of controversy. My engineering accomplice Joe Farr says that this is one of those topics that, when presented to 10 different engineers, ...

A technical paper titled “The RGATE: an 8-in-1 Polymorphic Logic Gate Built from Reconfigurable Field Effect Transistors” was published by researchers at TU Dresden and NaMLab. “We present the ...

A logic gate is an electronic component (or set of them) that performs a logic operation, in which the binary values 0 and 1 are represented with two different voltage values, as seen in the previous ...
