System-on-chip (SoC) designs are becoming more and more complex, by whatever means you measure it: power domains, gate count, packing densities, heat dissipation capacities, etc. At such high packing ...

In the previous installment, we talked about why flip flops are such an important part of digital design. We also looked at some latch circuits. This time, I want to look at some actual flip ...

The venerable Stephen Woodward recently published the design idea (DI) “Flip ON flop OFF” that converts a momentary push button to a classic push-on, push-off switch. Figure 1 is an attempt to go ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Satellite-telemetry data is digitized, multiplexed, and formatted into frames at a 1-kb/s data rate typically, and ...

Digital design with combinatorial gates like AND, OR, and NOT gates is relatively straightforward. In particular, when you use these gates to form combinatorial logic, the outputs only depend on the ...
