A couple of weeks ago, I wrote an article about a digital and analog circuit simulator called ksimus. One of my readers asked what the difference was between ksimus and ktechlab so I thought I'd take ...

Digital gates are fundamentally analog in nature. They use transistors. Sure, these transistors are operated at their conduction extremes (which is why they are called “digital”), but during the logic ...

[Tim] noticed recently that a large number of projects recreating discrete logic tend to do so with technology around 70 years old like resistor-transistor logic (RTL) or diode-transistor logic (DTL).

The death of standard logic has been greatly exaggerated. Standard logic building blocks, including gates, flip-flops, and buffers, have existed for over 30 years. Many in the industry have called ...

As I mentioned in my recent columns on the topic of adding pull-up or pull-down resistors to the inputs of unused or partially used logic gates and functions (see Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3), I was ...

Well, I must admit to being flabbergasted. I think I can say without fear of contradiction that my “flabber” has rarely been so “gasted.” The cause of my current state-of-gast was the rapturously ...
