This document explains how the Corona (MAXREFDES12#) subsystem reference design provides a compact and simple isolated digital input interface for industrial control and automation applications.

In the early digital era, logic gates were made exclusively of transistors and discrete components. The obvious occupation of a large space and increased heat dissipation pushed technology to ...

Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) output driver chips are popular with embedded designers because they provide multiple outputs without using any CPU I/O pins. This article explains how to adapt a ...

This week the world’s first and only digital circuit breaker was certified for commercial use. The technology, invented by Atom Power, has been listed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), the global ...

Programmable logic controller IO module. How hard is it to keep track of a binary electronic system? It can only be in one of two states: on or off, open or closed, 0 or 1. While that may be correct, ...

A central goal of synthetic biology is to create cellular networks that integrate input signals for decision making and actuation 1. In recent years, artificial logic gates 2,3,4 and memory devices ...

Living cells make decisions based on information processing genetic programmes. Many of these programmes execute digital functions 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. The capability to build synthetic digital systems in ...

Digital comparison is considered an important method used in digital systems while executing arithmetic or logical operations. It’s designed to compare the relative magnitudes of binary numbers. This ...

Push to make switch (PTM) is a momentary switch that closes the circuit only while pressed and is commonly used in doorbells and keyboards. Single pole, single throw switch (SPST) is a latching switch ...

Using of basic building blocks in different ways to make complex circuit is a common axiom in Digital Logic design. The complexity of these building blocks can vary from simple structure like ...
