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 ...

Before we plunge headfirst into the fray with gusto and abandon (and aplomb, of course), let’s remind and reassure ourselves that—although the following discussions focus on the devices and ...

Logic gates are the bricks and mortar of digital electronics, implementing a logical operation on one or more binary inputs to produce a single output. These operations are what make all computations ...

What’s the weirdest computer you can think of? This one’s weirder. [Dr. Cockroach] figured out a way to create an inverting NOT gate from just one LED and two resistors (one being a photo-resistor).

NIMS and the Tokyo University of Science have succeeded in developing an organic anti-ambipolar transistor capable of performing any one of the five logic gate operations (AND, OR, NAND, NOR or XOR) ...

Editor’s Note: NAND and NOR Flash memory play an integral role in embedded systems of all sorts but successful implementation requires careful attention to key ...

The HD74LV1G00A has two–input NAND gate in a 5 pin package. Low voltage and high-speed operation is suitable for the battery powered products (e.g., notebook computers), and the low power consumption ...

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, ...
