There are a range of integrated circuits that most of us would regard as definitive examples of their type, devices which became the go-to for a particular function and which have entered our ...

This single 2-input OR gate comes in mini logic packages namely TSSOP5, XSON6, and X2SON5. The device operates between the voltage range from 0.8 V to 3.6 V. It has a very low noise overshoot and ...

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, ...

Both inputs of N1 are connected to each other, so when input P is HIGH, output is zero. This logic zero is passed on to N2, at initial state of zero on the input 6, output 4 is logic one. This means ...

Logic Gates are among the important components of a circuit. All the logical operations required to perform a particular task in an electronic circuit are carried by these logic gates. If you are an ...

Light-based logic: The optical chirality logic gate is made of a nonlinear optical material that generates an output signal that’s dependent on the chirality of the two input beams. (Courtesy: Yi ...

Ralph Merkle, Robert Freitas and collaborators have shown that using only links and rotary joints a Turing-complete computational system can be created. A version of this design could be built using ...
