If your introduction to digital electronics came more years ago than you’d care to mention, the chances are you did so with 5V TTL logic. Above 2V but usually pretty close to 5V is a logic 1, below ...
When starting a new electronics project today, one of the first things that we tend to do is pick the integrated circuits that make up the core of the design. This can be anything from a ...
The 74HC00 data sheet warns that inputs must not be allowed to float because this makes the output indeterminate. Now, that in itself is a good reason, but there is more… In my previous column, we ...
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 ...
A set of four high-speed CMOS 20-bit bus switches provides pin-compatible equivalents to existing transistor-transistor-level (TTL) parts. These switches are designed for use in applications such as ...
