This circuit shows how a 4017 CMOS decade counter can be used to build a timer circuit. Push-button S1 will discharge capacitor C1 through resistor R2. This circuit shows how a 4017 CMOS decade ...

Digital design with combinatorial gates like AND, OR, and NOT gates is relatively straightforward. In particular, when you use these gates to form combinatorial logic, the outputs only depend on the ...

Here is a simple circuit which helps to know how SR Flip Flop can be designed using NOR gate. In the circuit diagram, there are two input terminals S and R. The SR Flip Flop is one of the fundamental ...

System-on-chip (SoC) designs are becoming more and more complex, by whatever means you measure it: power domains, gate count, packing densities, heat dissipation capacities, etc. At such high packing ...

With prior knowledge of delay characterization for combinational standard cells, where the delay values are dependent on the input slew and the output load, one needs to take in account of the ...

Scannability has always been a challenge and with complex architectures, the challenge is exacerbated by imposing several limitations like HOLD closure, yield loss, silicon failures due to HOLD, scan ...
