Logic gates are the bricks and mortar of digital electronics, implementing a logical operation on one or more binary inputs to produce a single output. These operations are what make all computatio… ...

The researchers created simple diode-based AND/OR logic gates from these circuits and incorporated them into pulse modulators, which can encode information by switching one input signal on or off ...

Fig 1. A typical CMOS input circuit comprises a “P” and “N” transistor. One is fully “on” for logic high, and the other is “on” for a logic low. Fig 2. When a CMOS input pin is at ...

With two failures it will be wrong, but at least the result is unambiguous. Voting Logic in a Circuit Consider the circuit shown above. The output should be the vote of the three flip flops.

It requires fewer transistors to build dynamic logic gates and achieves high performance with low power dissipation compared to conventional dynamic logic designs. The compact industrial model of ...

Researchers have invented a new organic polymer tunnel diode -- an electronic component that could one day lead to plastic computer memory and plastic logic circuits on computer chips. Today ...

You can use the circuit described in this DesignIdea to estimate voltages across 10- to 100-MΩresistances. It also works for reverse-biased diodes. The common CMOS gates in Figure 1 have aninput ...

The circuit consists of an N-channel MOSFET, two resistors, and a Schottky diode. The modulation signal, v-sig (t), is connected to the drain terminal of the MOSFET. The carrier signal, v-carr (t) , ...

For the past several years, researchers have been creating living logic gates, using the genetic on and off switches we've discovered in the biochemical world to create simple logical functions ...
