Programmable logic has come a long way from the simple devices we started out with. Remember Programmable Array Logic, or PALs? In bipolar technology the ICC on even a small PAL was over 100mA, and ...

Today we are going to revisit the CD4541 programmable CMOS timer IC. Although this monostable timer chip has been around for a long time, and many other chips have superseded it, the CD4541 IC is ...

Programmable analog devices give the design engineer the freedom to configure exactly the combination of analog functions that their product needs, integrated into a single device. To what extent, ...

Most digital timers require a set of dip switches or rotary BCD encoders to preset their interval. But those techniques consume eight or more inputs from a microcontroller's (MCU's) I/O lines. To ...

Microprocessor and programmable logic design are converging, though they still require a common language. After one of my engineers told me that she had found a typo in her hardware, I thought just ...
