You can assemble a pulse-generation circuit from a simple Schmitt-input AND gate plus a resistor-capacitor timing network. However ... for small-footprint Schmitt-input logic gates and found only “old ...

Unused multi-input gates. The next level in our meandering musings is to decide what to do with unused multi-input gates. Let’s start with 2-input AND and OR gates as an example. Assuming we are all ...

They can consist of multiple inputs and outputs and are made by combining simple logic gates. In the next installments, these aspects will be explored in detail, and we will explore more complex ...

Using this approach, the researchers were able to make ultrafast (less than 100 fs operating time) all-optical XNOR, NOR, AND, XOR, OR and NAND logic gates, as well as a half-adder. And that’s not all ...

Continuing scaling of CMOS technology has allowed aggressive pursuant of increased clock rate in DSM chips. The ever shorter clock period has made switching times of different inputs on a logic gate ...

Diode logic gates use diodes to allow or block the flow of current depending on the input voltage levels. They are simple, cheap, and robust, and can be easily integrated with other components.

Unused single-input gates. Let’s start with unused single-input gates, such as NOT (inverter) and BUF (buffer) functions. Without specifying a particular implementation technology at this stage, let’s ...
