Sometimes it can be difficult for beginners to wrap their brains around logic gates, truth tables, Karnaugh maps, and minimization techniques, but it soon gets easier. Sometimes it can be difficult ...

There are many resources available (like the Forums on eeweb.com and the tutorials on electronics-tutorials.ws) to help those who are just starting out. There are many resources available (like the ...

The digital world offers many advantages over its analog relatives, the use of boolean logic among them. Some of the functions, like NOT, OR, and AND are fairly straightforward and line up nicely with ...

It’s time to do a series on logic including things such as programmable logic, state machines, and the lesser known demons such as switching hazards. It is best to start at the beginning — but even ...

The ability for cells to control gene expression in response to changing conditions is crucial for their survival. People spend their entire careers teasing apart these mechanisms, many of which are ...

Modern semiconductor-based electronics is rapidly approaching fundamental limits caused by interconnect delays and large heat generation. Photonic devices and circuits could potentially solve these ...

Before we plunge headfirst into the fray with gusto and abandon (and aplomb, of course), let’s remind and reassure ourselves that—although the following discussions focus on the devices and ...

In mathematics, the acronym BODMAS (brackets, orders, division, multiplication, addition, subtraction) is used to help remember the order in which to carry out a mathematical calculation. Boolean ...
