Finishing up on the topic of CMOS bus logic I am going to show a couple of families with unique properties that may come in handy one day. First up is a CMOS logic family AHC/AHCT that has one of the ...

A handful of CMOS logic chips is all it takes to build this versatile warning alarm. Discover a classic 1980 Elektor design ...

In recent years, gallium nitride (GaN) has emerged as a compelling candidate to complement the silicon material used in wireless communication and power conversion applications. Benefits of GaN ...

The circuit was designed to create a handy logic probe that can show off the logic states for high, low and pulsing outputs with the use of CMOS 4001 integrated circuit. Logic Probe – a handheld probe ...

Nottingham-based SFN (Search for the Next) has characterised its novel transistor-based logic, and claims that it matches CMOS performance even when made in older fabs. It would “enable chip designers ...

As general purpose components, logic devices are used at different frequencies and power supply voltages in many different varieties of applications. This large diversity has produced the need to ...

Since the early 1980s, most electronics have relied on the use of complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) transistors. However, the principles of CMOS operation, involving a switchable ...

Fig 1. A typical CMOS input circuit comprises a “P” and “N” transistor. One is fully “on” for logic high, and the other is “on” for a logic low. Fig 2. When a CMOS input pin is at logic high or low ...

Some people can’t be bothered to read the analog face of a traditional clock. Some people cannot stand the low frequency “hum” of mains current. If you are in either of those categories, you probably ...
