If you’ve spent any time on hackaday.io, you may have noticed that more than a few denizens of the site are fans of “alternative” electronic logic. Aiming to create digital circuits from such things ...

The often-quoted Moore 's Law says that we can expect processors to double in capacity every 18 months. And that has held true. Now computer scientists warn that - without some significant ...

A previous Design Idea outlined a relatively simple circuit in which a momentary pushbutton could be made to function like a latching, mechanical switch. The article generated a good deal of reader ...

Power converters are typically designed to protect against undesirable fault scenarios. For example, if too much current is being drawn on the converter output, overcurrent protection may engage. This ...

Most switching power-supply controllers provide non-latching fault protection. Satisfying a requirement for a latchoff response to a fault often requires the addition of excessive and redundant ...

Over the recent weeks here at Hackaday, we’ve been taking a look at the humble transistor. In a series whose impetus came from a friend musing upon his students arriving with highly developed ...
