The versatile phase-locked loop (PLL) allows multiplication of a reference frequency with an operating frequency that ranges from “DC to daylight.” A PLL is overkill for some applications, however, ...

Drag and drop gates onto the workspace for easy circuit building. Click input/output nodes to draw and connect wires between gates. Supports multiple logic gates like AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR, XOR, and ...

The previous article examined the concept of logic gates. They can be made from discrete and active electronic components, although today logic gates are available within integrated circuits. In this ...

Logic Gates are among the important components of a circuit. All the logical operations required to perform a particular task in an electronic circuit are carried by these logic gates. If you are an ...

One of the hardest things about studying electricity, and by extension electronics, is that you generally can’t touch or see anything directly, and if you can you’re generally having a pretty bad day.

The circuit presented here (see figure) provides users with an indication of a high or low logic state. When the input is a logic 1 (high), the common-cathode display indicates "H." When the input is ...

We can represent Boolean logic by creating circuit diagrams that combine simple logic gates. Logic gates can be built up into chains of logical decisions. Some logic gates may have more than two ...

Saleae logic analyzers seem to have it all: good sampling rates, convenient protocol decoding, and plenty of channels – but not a good way to set rising or falling-edge triggering. [James] found this ...

A single logic gate can only do one simple function. To create more complex decisions and control systems, such as how a robot moves or how a microwave starts when the door is closed and a timer is ...
