InSb etalons operated at 77 K and illuminated by CO lasers (5.5 μ m) exhibit continuous wave (c.w.) optical bistability. A wide range of experiments have been performed to further the basic ...

Also known as "combinatorial logic," it refers to a digital logic function made of primitive logic gates (AND, OR, NOT, etc.) in which all outputs of the function are directly related to the current ...

All modern digital logic consists of combinatorial logic and sequential logic. Combinatorial logic is made up of gates while sequential logic comprises of flipflops. Different transistors are ...

Who would have thought that a circuit comprising only two 2-input NAND gates could be so complicated (or, should we say, “interesting”)? Up to this point (click here to see my earlier columns), the ...

The fun part about logic gates is that there are so many ways to make them, with each approach having its own advantages and disadvantages. Although these days transistor-transistor logic (TTL) is the ...

Clock gating is one of the most frequently used techniques in RTL to reduce dynamic power consumption without affecting the functionality of the design. One method involves inserting gating conditions ...
