A compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) is a type of fluorescent lamp that has been compressed into the size of an ordinary incandescent lamp. It works on the principle of gas discharge, i.e., ionization of gas by the electric current.The modern CFL was invented by Edward E. Hammer in 1973.CFLs are the lamps of choice for those looking for an energy efficient alternative to incandescent lamps.CFLs consume very less power than an incandescent lamp.The increasing variety of shape and color and small size of CFL have made them more versatile and acceptable than the conventional long tube fluorescent lamps.Construction and Working ...

Both decoder and demultiplexer are types combinational logic circuits used for implementing different types of digital systems. However, the function of a decoder is completely different from that of a demultiplexer. A decoder is a combination logic circuit that decrypts an input data stream from one format to another, whereas a demultiplexer is a combination circuit that routes the data from one input line to any of the multiple output lines. Read this article to find out more about decoders and demultiplexers and how they are different from each other. Let's start with a basic overview of these two combinational ... Read More
