Types of Integrated Circuits (ICs)
In this article, we will discuss different types of ICs (Integrated Circuits) in electronics. As we know, the integrated circuits (ICs) are one of the crucial parts of all electronic devices and systems. Without ICs, most of the hi tech electronic devices and gadgets that we use would cease to exist. Integrated circuits made the electronic devices and systems so small that they became an integral part of every field of human life. Therefore, integrated circuits or ICs are entirely responsible for miniaturization of electronic devices and circuits. Before discussing different types of ICs, let us first understand a ...
Read MoreRealization of a logic function in SOP form using NAND gate
SOP Form SOP form stands for Sum of Products form. SOP form is one in which a Boolean expression is expressed as a sum of product terms. For example, $$\mathrm{\mathit{f}\lgroup A, B, C\rgroup=AB+ABC+B\overline{C}}$$ This is a Boolean function expressed in SOP (Sum of Products) form. NAND Gate The NAND Gate is a type of universal logic gate. It is a logic gate one that can be used to realize any kind of logical function or any other type of logic gate. A NAND gate is basically a combination of two basic logic gates namely AND gate and NOT gate, i.e. ...
Read MoreRadix Conversion in Digital Electronics
In positional number systems, the radix is the total number of unique digits that are used to represent numbers in that number system. Radix is also called Base. For example, in decimal number system, we use total ten digits from 0 to 9 (i.e. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) to represent any decimal number. Therefore, for the decimal number system, the radix or base is ten (10). Although we can easily convert a given number from one radix (i.e. number system) to any other radix (number system) by using radix conversion protocols. In this article, ...
Read MoreElectronic Logic Conventions
Electronic logic conventions are the sets of rules followed while designing a digital logic system or device. These conventions are adopted due to their different characteristics observed by several experiments. The use of electronic logic conventions, makes the implementation process of a digit system easy and smooth. Also, a standardization is achieved in the design. This tutorial is entirely meant for explaining different electronic logic conventions used in digital system implementations. As we know, the digital systems are implemented in binary number system due to some technical and economic reasons. The binary number system follows Boolean’s rules to perform arithmetic ...
Read MoreConverting SSOP to SPOS Form
A Boolean function can be expressed into two forms namely, Sum of Products (SOP) Form Product of Sums (SOP) Form The SOP (Sum of Products) form is one in which the Boolean function is expressed as the sum of product terms, while in the POS (Product of Sums) form, the Boolean function is expressed as the product of sum terms of the function. But, in the SOP and POS form, each term of the function may not contain all the variables. For example, consider a Boolean function in three variables, $$\mathrm{\mathit{f}\lgroup A, B, C\rgroup=A\overline{B}+\overline{B}C}$$ This is the ...
Read MoreConversion between Canonical Forms
When a logical expression or Boolean function is expressed as a sum of minterms or as a product of maxterms, then it is called the canonical form of the expression or function. A canonical form of the Boolean expression is also known as standards form, i.e. Standard Sum of Products (SSOP) Form and Standard Product of Sums (SPOS) Form. The canonical form of a Boolean function involves minterms and maxterms. A minterm is a product term which contains all the variables of the Boolean function either in complemented or un-complemented form. A maxterm is a sum term which ...
Read MoreDifference between P-Type and N-Type Semiconductor
The type of materials whose conductivity is greater than insulators but less than conductors are known as semiconductor materials. In other words, a material is said to be semiconductor, if it has 4 electrons in its outermost shell. The semiconductor materials are broadly classified into two categories viz. intrinsic semiconductors and extrinsic semiconductors.Extrinsic semiconductors are further classified into two types as −P-Types SemiconductorN-Type SemiconductorIn this article, we will compare the P-type and N-type semiconductors by considering various factors such as type of impurity added, nature of doping, majority charge carriers, density of charge carriers, fermi level, etc. But, before going ...
Read MoreDifference Between Edge Lit and Backlit
Edge-lit and backlit lighting technologies are used in modern displays such as televisions, monitors, and advertising panels. The primary difference between the two is how light is spread across the screen. Edge-lit technology refers to a display with LEDs located around the panel's edges. Backlit technology refers to displays with LEDs located behind the screen. Read this article to find out more about Edge Lit and Backlit and how they are different from each other. What is Edge Lit? Edge-lit technology is a type of display lighting technology in which the LEDs are placed along the panel's edges. These LEDs emit light ...
Read MoreDifference Between Ableton Live and Suite
Ableton Live and Ableton Suite are two popular digital audio workstations (DAWs) created by Ableton, a software company based in Berlin. Both versions of the software are designed for music production and live performance, but they differ in certain areas. Ableton Live is the software's entry-level version, designed for live music creation and performance. Ableton Suite is a more advanced version of the software that includes all of the functionality of Ableton Live as well as a wide range of extra instruments and effects. Read this article to find out more about Ableton Live and Ableton Suite and how they are ...
Read MoreDifference Between Rheostat and Potentiometer
Rheostats and potentiometers are both electrical components that allow for current adjustment. However, they differ in terms of design, construction, and operation. A potentiometer is a three-terminal resistor that is used to measure or change the voltage in a circuit. A rheostat is an electrical component that uses resistance to control the flow of current in a circuit. Read this article to find out more about Rheostats and Potentiometers and how they are different from each other. What is Rheostat? A rheostat is an electrical component that uses resistance to control the flow of current in a circuit. It ...
