Introduction to Circuit Design

The instantaneous voltage of a waveform. Often used to mean maximum amplitude, or peak voltage, or a pulse.

TTL-compatible IC that can be wired to operate in several different modes, such as a one-shot and an astable multivibrator.

An almost instantaneous rise and decay of voltage or current in a periodic pattern with time and with a constant peak value.

An algebraic expression made up of Boolean variables and operators, such as AND (-), OR (+), or NOT (-). Also referred to as Boolean function or a logic function.

Type of flip-flop in which the D (data) input is the synchronous input.

A series of logic 1s and 0s plotted as a function of time.

One in which amplitude varies in proportion to the sine function of an angle.

A technique of entering CPLD design information by using a CAD (computer aided design) tool to draw a logic circuit as a schematic. The schematic can then be interpreted by design software to generate programming information for the CPLD.

A series of logic 1s and 0s plotted as a function of time.

One style of integrated circuit package which has two rows of lead.
