One of the hardest things about studying electricity, and by extension electronics, is that you generally can’t touch or see anything directly, and if you can you’re generally having a pretty bad day.

A logic gate is an electronic component (or set of them) that performs a logic operation, in which the binary values 0 and 1 are represented with two different voltage values, as seen in the previous ...

YouTuber Steve Mould has created a great demonstration of computer logic gates using water, tubes, and 3D printed components. This innovative approach provides a tangible and visual way to understand ...

This is going to be a column that’s divided into three sections. It’s based on a question that a student posed in the EEWeb forums, and he also sent it directly to yours truly. The core of this ...

The Boolean logic gates AND, OR and NOT comprise transistors, which are on/off switches wired together. Gates have one or two inputs but only one output, and they are wired in patterns that make up ...

It may seem a paradox, but in the future tiny computers may dump electronics and return to their mechanical roots. At the macroscale, mechanical computers are fussy and slow, but when your area is ...

A collection of transistors and resistors that implement Boolean logic operations in a digital circuit. Logic gates have one or two 0 or 1 inputs but only one 0 or 1 output as in the following ...
