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 ...

Let's start this tutorial with a basic introduction of 8:1 multiplexer before moving on to cover how a three variable logic function can be implemented using an 8:1 multiplexer. Introduction to 8:1 Multiplexer A multiplexer (or MUX) is a digital logic circuit that accepts multiple data inputs and allows only one of them at a time to pass through the output line. Hence, multiplexer is also known as data selector. In other words, a multiplexer is a digital circuit which Based on the number of input data lines, there are several types of multiplexers. But, this article is meant ... Read More

Simplification is an approach in which a Boolean expression is minimized or reduced into an equivalent expression by using some Boolean identities. Boolean algebra is a mathematic applied to binary number system. It was developed by George Boole, an English mathematician, to simplify complex logical operation to their simplest form. The simplification of a Boolean function is important because it reduces the number of logic devices/gates required to implement a logic function. This in turn reduces the hardware cost and complexity of the circuit. Also, it increases the reliability of the system. In this tutorial, we will understand the ... Read More

In digital electronics, the binary adder is a combinational logic circuit which performs the addition of two or more binary digits. The binary addition is performed based on the Boolean algebraic laws of addition, i.e., $$0+0=0$$ $$0+1=1$$ $$1+0=1$$ $$1+1=0$$ Binary adders are classified into two types namely, serial binary adder and parallel binary adder. In this tutorial, we will discuss serial binary adder, its definition, logic circuit diagram, and operation. So, let us start with basic introduction of serial binary adder. What is a Serial Binary Adder? A serial binary adder is a binary adder circuit which is used to ... Read More

Let's start this tutorial with some basics of SOP form and NOR gates before getting into the details of how to realize a logic function or Boolean expression in SOP form using NOR gates only. 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. NOR Gate NOR Gate is a universal logic gate, i.e., NOR gate can be used for realization of any ... Read More
