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 ...

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

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 ...

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, ...
