There’s a long history of devices originally used for communication being made into computers, with relay switching circuits, vacuum tubes, and transistors being some well-known examples. In a smaller ...

I got a bit tired from soldering SMD components, writing firmware, (and also observing people building vintage-looking Nixie clocks using modern microcontrollers). And recently when cleaning my parts ...

Over on the [Behind The Code with Gerry] YouTube channel our hacker [Gerry] shows us how to emulate a 74LS48 BCD-to-7-segment decoder/driver using an Altera CPLD Logic Chip From 1998. This is very ...

Abstract: Although Latin square is a well-known algorithm to construct low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes for satisfying long code length, high code-rate, good ...

For decades, compute architectures have relied on dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) as their main memory, providing temporary storage from which processing units retrieve data and program code. The ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new design of a 2 to 4 decoder constructed using 3-transistor NAND gates, contrasting it with the conventional 4 transistor NAND gate-based technique. The primary aim ...

Real-time as well as store & forward on-board processing applications are increasingly requiring larger amounts of fast on-board storage, and the choice of memory technology has a major impact on ...
