TTL vs. CMOS: Integrated Circuit Logic Families

The invention of the hybrid integrated circuit in 1958 by Jack Kilby and later the first actual monolithic IC by Robert Noyce in 1959 changed the electronics industry. It brought in a compact and energy-efficient circuit design that is cheaper than those built using discrete electronic components. However, different fabrication techniques evolved in IC manufacturing […]

Tv Antenna Booster: The Working Principles

Also known as a Cable TV signal amplifier, a TV antenna booster provides access to more and clearer television programs. TV signal boosters are useful in remote areas such as RV parks that experience weak signals from the designated TV transmitter. Naturally, signal losses occur due to cable resistance and the splitting of signal to […]

IC7447 Integrated Circuit: A Beginner’s Guide

IC number 7447 are circuits for BCD to seven segment converters and display from numbers 0 to 9. It decodes BCD in seven segmentations. Normally, IC7447 accepts input that is binary code values. The BCD is processed into seven segments shown as numbers 0 to 9 on a monitor.  This article will dive into details […]
