Discrete-logic vendors might, like Mark Twain before them, respond to their own obituaries with “The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.” Process migrations and application-tuned ...

Before the era of large-scale integration (LSI) semiconductor circuits, discrete logic circuits using the common diode-transistor logic (DTL) were still necessary and available in a format that was ...

A chip that contains one logic gate or a small number of logic gates. Although thousands of gates are routinely placed on a single chip, discrete logic chips with only one or two gates are also ...

These days, a lot of digital design work involves little more than patching together a few highly integrated blocks. It seems as if everything is VLSI (and CPLD/FPGA). A lot is, but not everything.

Members can download this article in PDF format. For market growth to occur at desired levels, suppliers must meet consumer demand for compact electronic devices that integrate multiple functions. To ...
