In this section we consider the design of a four-bit adder; i,e. a circuit that adds together two four-bit binary numbers. This needs to be a combinational logic circuit and therefore serves as a usef...

Because all 2m possible combinations of the m control lines of a multiplexer are fed to 2m AND gates then there is an AND gate for all of the fundamental product terms of the m variables....

There are a number of combinational logic circuits which are used so frequently that they are often considered to exist as circuit elements (like logic gates) in their own right. Note that the forms o...

Boolean algebra is the mathematical language of digital logic circuits, which are simply circuits built out of the three gates (operations) introduced above. It provides techniques for describing, ana...

This chapter introduces the essential information required for the rest of the book. This includes a description of Boolean algebra, the mathematical language of digital electronics, and the logic gat...

The basic gates (i.e. circuit elements) available in digital electronics perform the three Boolean algebraic operations of NOT, AND and OR. The symbols for these gates are shown in Fig. J, 1. In order...

The basic performance of PCB connectors can be divided into three categories, mechanical behavior, electrical performance and environmental performance....

That’s why we have pulled together 18 of the top PCB layout software tools for electronics engineers – to save you time while you are designing your projects. We also realize that one software tool ma...
