It’s possible to use an 8:1 multiplexer to implement any 3-input logical function, but can we use it to implement a 4-input function? On the one hand, some logic problems never seem to go away. On the ...

Now, the thing to remember is that we are using a CD4512 chip, whose truth table is shown below. The important thing to note here is that, in addition to the three multiplexer select controls, A, B, ...

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 ...

In Part 1 of this two-part binary coded decimal (BCD) extravaganza, we introduced a bunch of bodacious concepts, including the binary (base-2) number system, binary logic, binary computers, and bits, ...

How advanced IC designs are replacing board-level systems. How an eFPGA can empower a system’s design. Designers continue to face greater challenges in the development of advanced embedded systems.
