In the 8th May 2006 issue of EE Times, I published a “Brain Boggler” in my Logically Speaking column. The idea is that we have a black box with three inputs called A, B, and C; and three outputs ...

Transistors are tiny switches that can be triggered by electric signals. They are the basic building blocks of microchips, and roughly define the difference between electric and electronic devices.

A transistor – a word blend of "transfer" and "resistor" – is a fundamental component of today's advanced electronics. Essentially, a transistor, as one of the foundational elements of modern ...

Including XOR gates in your functions offers significant benefits by reducing transistor and track counts and increasing testability. As designers, we're used to representing digital functions using ...
