In today’s highly competitive semiconductor industry, chip-design companies strive for competitive advantages by optimizing designs for PPA (Power, Performance, Area). Along with the functional logic, ...

When learning ladder logic, I was told that some new PLC systems were moving to scripted programming languages. My instructor assured us that we would not need to know anything other than ladder logic ...

When ICs first became available to electronics engineers 30 years ago, oscilloscopes could no longer do the job. Asynchronous logic designs with multiple pins gave rise to multipath race conditions.

When I was an engineering student, I was fascinated about such subjects as Analog electronics, Logic Design, Microcontrollers etc.I loved the time I spent in my college laboratories, but unfortunately ...
