Digital Electronics is the counterpart of Analog Electronics and it deals with digital circuits that operate using digital or discreate signals. A typical digital circuit can be designed using basic elements like Transistors, Logic Gates, Flip-Flops or even using complex elements like microcontrollers, microprocessors and other computing chips. This section consists of a huge collection of basic digital circuits with schematics and detailed explanation, to help you build digital electronic projects. You can also check out the Embedded Electronics section for advanced digital circuits that are designed using microcontrollers and microprocessors.
Microchip added new single and dual-core dsPIC33C Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs) to its DSC family with more options to meet changing application requirements across memory, temperature and functional safety. The new single-core dsPIC33CK64MP105 DSC comes in cost optimized version for applications which require small memory and footprint. Whereas dual-core…
Toshiba announced the release of the new 31 single power supply one-gate logic device series ‘7UL1G’ and ‘7UL1T’. Both series devices support low-voltage operation and implement voltage-level translation with a single power supply allowing easier design of voltage-level translation circuits with no concerns about the power-on-sequence or voltage restrictions between…
One common feature that is used in almost every embedded application is the ADC module (Analog to Digital Converter). These Analog to digital Converters can read voltage from analog sensors like Temperature sensor, Tilt sensor, Current sensor, Flex sensor etc. In this tutorial we will learn What is ADC and How to use ADC in Atmega16. This tutorial includes…
When a signal goes through a sudden change from base value to higher value and again comes to base value from higher value after some time. It is called a Pulse signal.
In above image, the first waveform shows a single pulse where the signal is changing from 0 to 5v (low to high) and 5v to 0 (high to low) within a short…
Resistors are current limiting devices with are used abundantly in electronics circuits and products. It is a passive component which provides resistance when current flow through it. There are many different types of resistors. Resistance is measured in Ohm with a sign of Ω.
What are Pull-up and Pull-Down…
In order to meet the size, power and performance requirements of Industry 4.0 applications, Maxim Integrated introduced an expanded family of digital input devices. One of the new devices, MAX22192 is integrated into the company’s Go-IO programmable logic controller (PLC) reference design.
As manufacturing becomes…
Microchip Technology introduced a new family of 16-bit Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs) to facilitate system designers looking for digital signal processing power with the design simplicity of a microcontroller (MCU). Intended to be used in time-critical control applications for a faster deterministic, the new dsPIC33CK DSCs have expanded context selected…
A counter is a device which can count any particular event on the basis of how many times the particular event(s) is occurred. In a digital logic system or computers, this counter can count and store the number of time any particular event or process have occurred, depending on a clock signal. Most common type of counter is sequential digital logic circuit…
An asynchronous counter (or ripple counter) is a sequential digital circuit in which the outputs of flip-flops are connected in series, so that the output of one flip-flop serves as the clock input to the next stage. Not all flip-flops may change state at the same time as synchronous counters, so asynchronous counters are easier to design but may experience propagation delays.
