Logic gates are the bricks and mortar of digital electronics, implementing a logical operation on one or more binary inputs to produce a single output. These operations are what make all computatio… ...

You can assemble a pulse-generation circuit from a simple Schmitt-input AND gate plus a resistor-capacitor timing network. However, if you need a logic function that's not a standard catalog item, you ...

At a Glance Is it more advantageous for the output from a single- or multi-input unused logic gate to be driven to logic 0 or logic 1? In the case of multi-input unused logic gates, is it sufficient ...

Case example: Emergency stop routine These gates can be cascaded such that the output from one gate becomes an input to another gate. Keeping this in mind, suppose the control logic for an emergency ...

Charge sharing poses a fundamental problem in the design of dynamic logic gates, which is nearly as old as digital circuit design itself. Although, many solutions are known, up to now most of them add ...

What Should We Do with the Inputs to Unused Logic Gates & Functions? (Part 3) Things are bad enough with completely unused gates; they only get worse with partially used functions.
