All the cool kids are doing it.
So this post is a little out of the ordinary, however I figured this nice rant about the history of computer technology may be useful to some readers out there. Computer Technology The first computer built in America was the IAS computer. It was developed at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton under the [...]
Karnaugh maps or K-maps for short are used for simplifying Boolean expressions. K-maps are constructed depending on the number of variables, or bits, in the expression. For example if the expression is f(A,B,C,D) = A + D, there are 4 bits to consider. Before starting to construct the K-Map you should first create the truth table [...]
A Finite State Machine (FSM), or just state machine, is a model of behavior composed of a finite number of states. We use these in computer engineering to model a “machine” with primitive memory. Based on the signals we recieve, we go to a certain state where information is processed, and then we wait for [...]
ABEL Logic is the simpliest way to turn an idea in your brain to a working digital circuit. It is very easy to understand, works like english and functions like a digital circuit so you can easily turn any idea into a working PLD chip that’ll do exactly what you want. To get started writing [...]
Binary numbers work exactly like our decimal system. It’s called Decimal because it has 10 total combinations per digit. For instance we count 0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9 which gives us 10 total numbers we can use in a single digit. When we run out of digits we add one to the leading digit and switch the current digit [...]
