Why am I seeing -5 V or lower on the output pins reading an Intel 1702A EPROM?

I am building a breadboard/Arduino reader to dump the data on a very old Intel 1702A EPROM chip. (data sheet) When doing some basic testing by tying all the address pins to ground, I am seeing ...

How can I avoid a clock glitch?

I have a clock with a 50% duty cycle, driving a 3-bit ripple counter. When Q2 is high, external lines such as address are stable. I want to generate a short read pulse between 50% and 75% of the Q2 ...

pull-ups between logic gates

I'm trying to understand why, on this circuit bit, they used pull-ups resistors between logic ICs of the 74LS and CD4000 families. Specifically I'm talking about resistor array RM1 and R1. All the ICs ...

Which logic gate family is used in a PC? TTL or CMOS?

I read that the propagation delay of CMOS logic gate is longer than TTL; therefore they are not used where speed of processing is important. I thought computers or computer cpu is using CMOS. ...

Switching relay with a PNP and TTL levels

I can not wrap my head around the fact how I can drive a relay (24V, 160ohm) with an tip32a PNP transistor which has TTL inputs from a controller. I can easily calculate my resistors when I use the ...

CMOS (or CMOS compatible) shift register with latched open-drain outputs

I've been looking for a 3.3V compatible shift register (SIPO) with latched open-drain outputs. I've settled on a 74xx596 (not a '595!), but of all the 74xx CMOS series I've been looking at omit this ...

Driving LEDs / other small loads with a 74HC06 or similar inverter

I was recently reverse-engineering some firmware (and other bits) from a router, and spotted that the front panel LEDs were driven from a 74HC06 hex inverter gate chip rather than a proper LED driver. ...

How to detect Serial or TTL signal for a PIC?

I have a Microchip PIC with UART support. If i understand correctly, the UART is able to natively handle the TTL serial signal. I'm expecting input signal that should be TTL (0/5V), but it could be ...
