The HEF4047B is an integrated circuit containing a gatable astable multivibrator that is incorporated with logic techniques to allow positive or negative edge-triggered monostable multivibrator action ...

This Design Idea describes a simple way to form a reliable astable or monostable multivibrator from a set/reset latch. You may find it useful because it lets you minimize the number of standard ...

We must admit that we’ve been guilty of using a microcontroller to make two LEDs blink alternately in the past. It’s not the worst transgression, but it stems from our discomfort with analog circuits.

This Idea for Design discusses a circuit that not only converts transducer measurements, but also delivers two pulses to control counter functions like Latch and Reset. How to build a circuit that ...

Incremental-rotation or linear encoders are very common, but normally they do not provide a direction signal. This design shows an easy way to detect forward or reverse direction. Incremental encoders ...

I have always been a great fan of the 4000 CMOS series, and its 74HC derivatives. I have always been a great fan of the 4000 CMOS series, and its 74HC derivatives. So when an engineer friend of mine ...
