This document tackles the basic facts of the 74HCT TTL Compatible CMOS components. It includes a comparison between its sub-family of components. Suggestions on what CMOS to use on a specific ...

Pity the poor TTL computer aficionado. It’s an obsession, really — using discrete logic chips to scratch-build a computer that would probably compare unfavorably to an 80s era 8-bit machine in terms ...

As we have observed in previous parts of this course, in a digital system, signals can take on only two values: high or low. These values are often represented by two voltage levels. The most used ...

The single-gate 74AHCT1Gxx logic devices are primarily a performance upgrade for legacy 5V TTL systems. An advanced CMOS process enables switching and power efficiency advantages over alternative ...

When you go on your favorite cheap online shopping platform and order a batch of  74LS logic ICs, what do you get? Most ...

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, ...
