A flip-flop is one of the most basic digital electronic circuits. It can most easily be built from just two transistors, although they can and have been built out of vacuum tubes, NAND and NOR gates, ...

The diode is a fundamental component you must understand if you want to grow your electronics prowess. So today, we’re going to take a quick look at what a diode is, then look at 4½ uses for a diode ...

Fig 1. A typical CMOS input circuit comprises a “P” and “N” transistor. One is fully “on” for logic high, and the other is “on” for a logic low. Fig 2. When a CMOS input pin is at logic high or low ...

(Nanowerk News) Researcher at iGaN Lab, University of Science and Technology of China, have developed a multifunctional three-terminal diode that functions both as a light emitter and a detector. This ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Silicon transistors have been made smaller year after year, but they are approaching a point of physical limitation. Their increasingly small dimensions, now reaching well into ...

Before the era of large-scale integration (LSI) semiconductor circuits, discrete logic circuits using the common diode-transistor logic (DTL) were still necessary and available in a format that was ...

The circuit above is a 3−input Diode−Transistor Logic (DTL) gate. Write the truth table for the input combinations of 0 V and 5 V with respect to the ground. Which type of logic gate does this circuit ...
