Designing a particular clock cycle series with glue logic/CMOS/TTL for serial data without a uP
I am looking to design an interface for serial data that runs for 31 cycles (not 32, I know), but with uneven cycles to transmit serial data. Each cycle is 8 clock pulses (at 7MHz). For the first 20 ...

Use digital sensor with USB to serial TTL converter?
I have a sensor (HC2A-S3A), which provides analog and digital output signals. The digital interface is UART (19200 baud, protocol RoASCII). Can I use a USB to Serial TTL Converter (chipset: FTDI ...

Prolific PL2303 knock-off USB-TTL adapter without timing crystal
I recently got this bare-bones USB-TTL adapter which unsurprisingly contains a knock-off Prolific chip but on top of that it is entirely without the crystal oscillator. It seems to be missing some ...

What is this chip enable circuit doing? (old TTL, with diode, with pull-up?)
I'm trying to understand a small portion of a (vintage, TTL) circuit design and I'm a little unsure of what's going on in this section*, which determines whether the Chip Enable signal on a particular ...

recognising patterns in TTL logic analog circuit
There is a circuit based on TTL( transistor transistor logic I think) .
The signals at points A B C D are described.
I am new with this TTL, could you help me decompose this united circuit into the ...

Using a function generator as a clock source to drive several ICs (CD4000 CMOS series & 74 TTL)
I am building a circuit that uses a 4 MHz reference carrier. The used ICs are basically XOR 7486 and NOT 7404, CD4013 flip-flop, etc.
I have a function generator which is capable of providing up to 5 ...

Level shifting from 3.3V to 5V not working: voltage drops when attaching load
I am trying to trigger a laser using an Arduino. I used a power supply to determine that the laser needs a 3.5V (or higher) signal, at which point it draws around 2.2mA from the power supply. When ...

Simple TTL: Is there a way to "detect" a high-z state and easily use that to drive other logic?
I have two TTL style logic chips, call them A and B (*), where the outputs of A are the inputs to B (think: 8 data lines). A has tri-state outputs, so when they are turned off they float. B is an ...

Turn TTL high output signal into ground pulse for EEPROM write
I have a TTL-high output signal which I wish to use to send a negative pulse to a 28c256 EEPROM WE pin to write to it, but the high line may remain high until the next clock signal/output change etc.

When is it appropriate to mix 74LSxx components with original TTL 74xx?
I spend almost all my tinkering time with 1970s era logic circuits, which use almost all original 7400-series TTL. I do a fair bit of repair and am now starting to design additional logic to work with ...

Is it okay to call a UART “RS-232” if it doesn’t respect voltage levels specified in the RS-232 standard?
I have been using this converter call it converter A to communicate an MCU through its UART pins RX TX. And I wouldn't call this RS232 because RS232 is about physical layer and voltage levels as ...

Latch circuit to cycle power in an ATX PSU
I'm designing a system powered by an ATX PSU. I'd like it to be able to be switched on and off by a momentary switch but also to be able to be turned off by another input.
The latch circuit is powered ...

May I connect the RO and DI pins of a MAX485 module directly to ESP32 pins?
I'm running my MAX485 module board with an external 5V power supply, with the R0 and DI pins from the module connected directly to the ESP32 pins, which running at 3.3V. Both grounds were not tied ...

Why would I use HNM (high noise margin) gate drive over a TTL gate drive for DC motor driving application?
I am making a very simple half bridge DC motor drive using the MAX1760 gate driver. Looking through the datasheet I saw that it offers two types of logic level technologies (if that's the right word?);...
