T Flip Flop Truth Table, Circuit Diagram, Working and Applications
Let’s explore T flip flop truth table and working of its circuit with applications. A T flip-flop, also known as a toggle flip-flop, is a basic digital circuit element that has two stable states and can change state (toggle) based on a triggering input. T Flip Flop Circuit Diagram: Here’s the circuit diagram for a […]
LED Chaser Circuit using 555 Timer and CD4017 IC
In this article you will learn how to make an LED chaser circuit using 555 timer IC and CD4017 counter IC. An LED chaser circuit is a simple electronic circuit that creates a sequential chasing effect by illuminating a series of LEDs one after the other. It is a popular project for hobbyists and electronics […]
Microcontroller Block Diagram, Working, Types and Applications
Let’s see block diagram of microcontroller in detail. microcontroller is a compact electronic device that integrates a central processing unit (CPU), memory (both RAM and ROM), input/output (I/O) ports, and various peripherals onto a single integrated circuit (IC chip) for specified tasks. Unlike general-purpose microprocessors found in personal computers, microcontrollers are designed for specific tasks […]
CD4029 Binary/Decade & UP/Down Counter
CD4029 is a Synchronous, Programmable, Presettable, 4 Bit Up/Down & Binary/Decade counter which is very much similar to the IC 74193, However, there is one notable change between IC74193 and CD4029: CD4029 has one unique pin that determines its counter configuration for Binary and BCD counter mode, allowing the IC to count similarly to binary […]
IC74163 Pin Diagram, Truth Table & Counter Circuit
IC74163 Integrated Presettable Synchronous 4-bit Modulo-16 Up counter. The IC is a synchronous counter as all 4 flip-flops are integrated into the same chip & they receive the same clock pulse (clock signal). The IC74163 is a completely programmable binary counter due to its four preset inputs, which allow it to begin counting with any […]
