We are somewhat spoiled because electronics today are very reliable compared to even a few decades ago. Most modern electronics obey the bathtub curve. If they don’t fail right away, they won’t fail ...

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 ...

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 ...

Applications for using a single pushbutton to advance a circuit to its next logical state are legion. Typically, there are just “on” and “off” states, but there can be more. The heart of the circuit ...

Many varieties of ON/OFF control circuits use some form of flip-flop that responds to a pushbutton switch or other control input. These all have volatile memory and default to an OFF condition if ...

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 ...
