Using digital logic gates such as AND, OR, XOR, NOT, NAND, NOR, and XNOR and other related logic functions is often the foundation for defining the relationship between electrical signals and how they ...

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 ...

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 ...

In today’s highly competitive semiconductor industry, chip-design companies strive for competitive advantages by optimizing designs for PPA (Power, Performance, Area). Along with the functional logic, ...

Why safety professionals need a new class of logic solver, one that bridges the enormous gap between safety PLCs and single-loop devices.
