Usually NAND gates or NOR gates, as these are the universal gates from which all other gates, flipflops, registers, etc. can be built.

There are four basic building blocks:

gates with more than one input:

AND: output high if all inputs high

OR: output high if any input high

gates with one input:

buffers: output high if input high; these are used at the ends of long wiring runs so following gates get clear signals--IOW, they're amplifiers

inverters: output low if input high

A NAND gate is an AND with an inverter follower, and a NOR is an OR with an inverter follower.

Why do computers use base 2?

Computers use base 2 because a transistor only has two states, on and off and these are best represented by a 0 and a 1. Transistors are the building blocks of a computer's ICs.


What are miniaturized transistors in digital systems contained in?

Integrated circuits, abbreviated ICs.


What is digital temperature sensor?

Digital temperature sensors are usually silicon-based temperature- sensing ICs that output precise digital representations of the temperatures they are measuring.


IC s are analog or digital?

Integrated circuits are produced with a myriad of functions today. Although early ICs tended to be digital logic circuits, there have been both analog and digital types throughout their history. Many ICs now combine digital and analog circuitry within a single package. So, an IC can be digital, analog or a hybrid of the two.

What is the difference between an analog ic and a digital ic?

digitals ICs output either a high, +5v DC, or a low 0v. The outputs of digital ICs or on-off-on-on-off....etc. Analog ICs output waves in forms of sine, tri, basically anything but Square waves. Analog ICs usually used to regulate, amplify, filter, existing waves comming into its inputs. The digital ICs output a on-off signal based on what signals you give it. Analog ICs are not absolute, they are used in almost every design. Don't know where these other people got there info from, like they are based on PCB boards, wrong, they are based on silicon wafers they look exactly like digital ICs. Sure these Analog ICs may include some digital circuityry but their output is always analog and they are used in almost EVERY electronic/electrical device


What translates a computer's digital signal?

Digital to analog converter.An analog to digital converter and digital to analog converter are present in a computer. they serve this purpose. They are present in the form of ICs inside.


What the meaning of TTL ICS?

TTL ICS stands for Transistor-Transistor Logic Integrated Circuit. It refers to a type of digital logic circuit built using bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) and resistors, where both the logic functions and the signal amplification are performed by transistors. TTL ICS are known for their speed and reliability and were widely used in digital electronics before the advent of more advanced technologies.


What is fan-out in digital ic applications?

"Fan out" is the number of "next in the chain" ICs that one IC is capable of driving with its output.
