NAND Gate using transistors How to Build a NAND Gate with Transistors?

In the realm of digital electronics and logic circuits, the NAND gates stands as a fundamental cornerstone that wields immense power in information processing. NAND, short for Negated AND, is a logical operation that produces an output of low only when all of its inputs are high.

In this article, we will…

XOR Gate using Transistors How to Build an XOR Gate with Transistors?

In the vast world of digital electronics and logic circuits, The XOR gate stands as a fundamental building block that plays a crucial role in information processing. XOR, short for Exclusive OR. Is a logical operation that produces an output of high when the number of high inputs is odd, and low when the number of low inputs are even.…

OLED based DIY Digital Soldering Iron Controller OLED Soldering Controller

When soldering, sometimes the need arises to control the temperature of the soldering iron, especially, for micro soldering or any other precision soldering job. It is important to keep the temperature under control because overheating may damage sensitive semiconductor parts. That is where a temperature-controlled soldering station comes to play. But the problem is…

Nexperia DHXQFN Packages for standard logic devices Standard Logic Devices in Ultra-Compact DHXQFN Packages

Nexperia has developed small and low profile 14, 16, 20, and 24 pin DHXQFN packages to provide a small footprint in standard logic devices. Measuring just 2 mm x 2 mm (14 pin), 2 mm x 2.4 mm (16 pin), 2 mm x 3.2 mm (20 pin), and 2 mm x 4 mm (24 pin), the 0.4 mm pitch, 0.45 mm height, these DHXQFN packages help in saving space on PCB.

The 16 pin…

Successive Approximation ADC How Does Successive Approximation (SAR) ADC Work and Where is It Best Used?

An Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) is a type of device that helps process real-world analog signals for digital systems. To understand real-world data like temperature, humidity, pressure, and position, we need transducers that convert these measurements into electrical signals. Since the majority of devices we use at the moment are digital, this conversion becomes…

NOT Gate using Transistors Designing NOT Gate using Transistors

An Integrated Circuit or IC is a combination of many small circuits in a small package that together performs a common task. For example, an Operational Amplifier or 555 Timer IC is built by a combination of many Transistors, Flip-Flops, Logic Gates and other combinational digital circuits. Similarly, a Flip-Flop can be built by using a…

Bi-Directional Logic Level converter using MOSFET Bi-Directional Logic Level converter using MOSFET

Back in the ENIAC era, computers were more analog in nature and used very few digital ICs. Today an average Joe’s computer works with multiple voltage levels, people who had seen the SMPS of a CPU would have noticed that your computer requires ±12V, +5V and +3.3V to operate. These voltage levels are very important for a computer; a specific voltage determines the state of…
