In this column, we take a closer look as to how timing and delays affect our logic circuits. As part of this, we start to consider the timing diagrams presented in data sheets. As I was writing my ...

Unfortunately, there is nothing in the data sheet to warn the unwary user of the potential for glitches on the HC123 retriggerable monostable multivibrator. In my previous column, we considered ...

Whilst poring over 4046 phase locked loop data sheets, I noticed yet another subtle useful difference between the the later faster 74HC4046 (diag from NXP data sheet) and the earlier slower CD4046.
