In digital electronic devices and systems, binary registers are one of the crucial components that play a vital role in data storage and manipulation. Binary registers are the fundamental building blocks in memory unit of a digital system or device. In this article, we will explore basics of binary registers and binary register data. So, let’s start with the basic introduction of binary registers. What are Binary Registers? In digital systems, a binary register is considered the base of a data storage unit. It is a group of flip-flops connected together to store data and information in the form of ... Read More

Let's start this article with an overview of Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) codes before moving on to discuss BCD addition. What is BCD? BCD or Binary Coded Decimal is a coding scheme used to represent decimal number (0 to 9) in the form of binary digits of a group of 4-bits. Binary coded decimal is the simplest form to convert decimal numbers into their equivalent binary format. Although, binary coded decimal or BCD is not the same as the normal binary representation. In binary coded decimal (BCD) coding scheme, each decimal digit is represented as a group of 4-bit binary ... Read More

Let’s start this tutorial with a basic overview of BCD (Binary Coded Decimal) and Excess-3 codes. Thereafter, we will proceed further to discuss BCD to Excess 3 conversion. What is BCD? BCD stands for Binary Coded Decimal. BCD is a coding scheme used to represent decimal numbers in the binary format. In BCD coding scheme, each decimal digit, from 0 to 9, is encoded as a group of 4-bits. The BCD codes for 0 to 9 in the decimal number system is given in the table below. Decimal Digit Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) 0 0000 ... Read More

Both TN (Twisted Nematic) and IPS (In-Phase Switching) panels are types of back panels used in LCDs (Liquid Crystal Displays), however they are quite different from each other. The most fundamental difference between TN panel and IPS panel is in their viewing angles. TN panels have a narrow viewing angle, typically around 160° horizontally and 170° vertically, while IPS panels have a wider viewing angle, typically around 178° horizontally and 178° vertically. Read this article to learn more about TN and IPS panels and how they are different from each other. What are TN Panels? In the context of ... Read More

OLED and QLED are modern display technologies used in a variety of electronic devices, such as TVs, monitors, laptop screens, smartphones, etc. However, they are completely different from each other in several aspects like technology, characteristics, performance, viewing angles, and more. The most fundamental difference between OLED and QLED is in their display technology, i.e. OLED display uses organic semiconductor materials to emit light and display images on the screen, while QLED display uses LED backlights and quantum dots to produce images on the screen. Read this article to learn more about OLED and QLED and how these ... Read More

Battery is an electronic device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. It is widely used in various portable electronic devices and other mobile devices. Batteries are classified into two categories namely rechargeable batteries and non-rechargeable batteries. In this article, we will explore two widely used types of rechargeable batteries namely, Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery and Lithium-Polymer (Li-Po) battery and their important differences. The primary difference between Li-Ion battery and Li-Po battery is that a Li-Ion battery provides high energy density while a Li-Po battery provides low energy density. Read this article to learn more about the Li-Ion and Li-Po ... Read More

In metal processing industry, plating is a process of depositing a thin layer of one metal onto the surface of another metal. Plating is done to improve appearance of the metal surface and protect from corrosion. Electroplating and Electroless Plating are commonly used techniques for plating of metals. The main difference between electroplating and electroless plating is in their working principle. Electroplating utilizes an externally supplied electric current to deposit a layer of metal onto the surface of another metal, while electroless plating utilizes chemical reactions to deposit a metal coating on the surface. In this article, we will ... Read More

Electrolysis and Electroplating are electrochemical processes that rely on electric current and chemical reactions. The most fundamental difference between electrolysis and electroplating is that electrolysis is an electrochemical process which uses electric current to perform a non-spontaneous chemical reaction, whereas electroplating is an electrochemical process which uses electric current to deposit one metal on another metal. In this article, we will explore all the major differences between electrolysis and electroplating. What is Electrolysis? Electrolysis is an electrochemical process that makes use of an electric current to perform a non-spontaneous chemical reaction. Electrolysis is performed in a device called an ... Read More

MOS stands for Metal Oxide Semiconductor. Metal Oxide Semiconductor is used for constructing transistors which are called MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors). MOS transistors are being extensively used in a variety of modern electronic and power electronic devices like inverters, microprocessors, memory ICs, digital logic circuits, and more. What is a MOS Transistor? A MOS (Metal Oxide Semiconductor) transistor is a type of field effect transistor (FET) that can operate in both depletion mode and enhancement mode. A MOS transistor typically consists of three-terminals namely, Gate (G), Source (S), and Drain (D). The major parts of a MOS ... Read More

What is a Logic Gate? In digital circuits, a logic gate is a fundamental element of the digital circuit or system, that performs a specific logical operation. A logic gates typically has one or more inputs and only one output. The output of the logic gate is related to the inputs based on a certain logic. Some commonly used logic gates are: AND Gate, OR Gate, NOT Gate, NAND Gate, and NOR Gate. What is CMOS Technology? CMOS, Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor, is a predominant technology used for manufacturing integrated circuits (ICs). This technology is widely used for manufacturing a ... Read More
