On the surface, a programmable logic controller (PLC) might seem like nothing more than a generic microcontroller, perhaps outfitted to operate in industrial settings with things like high ...

Logic Gates are among the important components of a circuit. All the logical operations required to perform a particular task in an electronic circuit are carried by these logic gates. If you are an ...

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 ...

Before we plunge headfirst into the fray with gusto and abandon (and aplomb, of course), let’s remind and reassure ourselves that—although the following discussions focus on the devices and ...

A logic gate is a device performing an elementary Boolean function, producing a logical 0 or 1 output depending on one or several such logical inputs. Implemented with either electronic, optic, ...

A group of so-called logic gates performs each operation. In the A AND C operation, for example, one gate would consist of strand B intertwined with strand A’, which prefers strand A to strand B. When ...

We can represent Boolean logic by creating circuit diagrams that combine simple logic gates. Logic gates can be built up into chains of logical decisions. Some logic gates may have more than two ...
