This module covers the fundamental ideas underlying design of modern digital systems. This module explains the basis of circuit elements, how they are interconnected to form digital circuits and also ...

A combinational circuit consists of logic gates, where outputs are at any instant and are determined only by the present combination of inputs without regard to previous inputs or previous state of ...

Researchers have built logic circuits, the heart of all electronic gadgets, on molybdenum disulfide films that are two molecular layers thick (Nano Lett., DOI: 10.1021/nl302015v). The devices are the ...

In a proof-of-concept study, researchers have created self-assembled, protein-based circuits that can perform simple logic functions. The work demonstrates that it is possible to create stable digital ...

A collection of transistors and resistors that implement Boolean logic operations in a digital circuit. Logic gates have one or two inputs but only one output as in the following examples. Transistors ...

Engineers have created genetic circuits in bacterial cells that not only perform logic functions, but also remember the results, which are encoded in the cell's DNA and passed on for dozens of ...

This chapter is an introduction to combinational logic circuits. These are logic circuits where the output(s) depend solely on the input(s). It begins with methods of implementation of logic diagrams ...

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.
