Transistor-transistor-logic or TTL parts have been around for a long time and now and then, I still seem to run across this or that “thing” where they've been designed in, not necessarily in the ...

[Donn] wanted know exactly what is going on inside of a processor so naturally he built a CPU out of TTL components. He had previously built a couple of versions of a computer based on the Z80 ...

The panel industry is rapidly accelerating to higher resolution and a greater number of bits per colour. Breakthroughs in resolution and color are possible only when increasing the overall data rate ...

In some cases, newer releases of data sheets contain less information than their counterparts from yesteryear. Does this make anyone else wonder if we’re really making progress? In some cases, newer ...

The fun part about logic gates is that there are so many ways to make them, with each approach having its own advantages and disadvantages. Although these days transistor-transistor logic (TTL) is the ...

The MSE 1000 modular multiplexer from HEIDENHAIN now features transistor–transistor logic (TTL) and inductive and analog interface modules. This allows for the connection of up to 250 devices and the ...

Have you ever wanted to build your own minicomputer, but felt restricted by the available selection of https://www.pcworld.com/products/components/processors.html ...

Only eight lithography masks to create a low-power custom logic chips, compared with 20+ for CMOS, is the claim of Nottingham-based fabless chip start-up ‘Search For The Next’ (SFN). As such, ...

Field-effect transistors based on carbon nanotubes have been shown to be faster and less energy consuming than their silicon counterparts. However, ensuring these advantages are maintained for ...

A transistor that operates with photons rather than electrons is often heralded as the next step in information processing, but optical technology must first prove itself to be a viable solution in ...
