If you’d like to squeeze more functionality into less space, while simplifying inventory and reducing system cost, then check out NXP’s configurable and combination logic. These flexible and ...

Here’s a really fascinating circuit that implements a combination lock using relays and logic gates. Even with the schematic and written explanation of how it works we’re still left somewhat in the ...

This Design Idea describes a simple alternative to a nonvolatile gating function you typically implement using PAL (programmable-array logic), GAL (gate-array logic), or a CPLD ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Science; DOI 10.29026/oes.2022.220010 considers optical logic gates in future computers. If you are reading this on your smartphone, its CPU (central processing ...

The component gods must have smiled on [Darrell], because he recently ran into a cabinet full of 7400-series logic chips for sale at his local college surplus. All the regulars were there – flip-flops ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Logic gates, especially Boolean logic gates, are the fundamental building blocks of today's computers built with silicon-based circuitry; without them, digital information could ...

Memristors, a type of circuit element based on magnetic flux, were first proposed back in 1971, but remained limited to the realm of theory until 2008. That’s when some researchers from HP Labs ...
