In previous columns we’ve looked at TTL and CMOS logic devices in isolation. Things start to become interesting if we wish to use TTL and CMOS components in the same circuit. In previous columns we’ve ...

On the path to exploring complex logic, let’s discuss the electrical properties that digital logic signals are comprised of. While there are many types of digital signals, here we are talking about ...

The LS7082N1 CMOS quandrature clock converter is designed to interface between incremental encoders and counting devices by converting the encoder quadrature outputs into directional up/down clocks or ...

There is one thing that unites almost every computer and logic circuit commonly used in the hardware hacking and experimentation arena. No matter what its age, speed, or internal configuration, ...

Suited for Gigabit Ethernet, DSP, Stratum IV, and other CMOS/TTL applications, the M7R and M8R series 5V and 3.3V oscillators are available in frequencies between 80.000 MHz and 125.000 MHz. The ...

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, ...
