Root Locus Construction Rules
From time to time there will be a thread on the construction of a root locus. These were methods used long before computers achieved wide availability. They are especially useful for transfer functions...
View Articleupgraded version of the "AND" gate for flip flop series
This is an upgraded version of the "AND" gate configuration, that goes into these m-s flip flops, the old version used two transistors, this new design uses only one transistor, its bias is different...

This is a robotics project I designed and built about 20-30 years ago, it is based on the old radio shack robotics gripper robot, I didn't want to spend money on buying one. So because I enjoy...
View ArticleRedesign M-S flip flop using SCR's as latching stages part 1
This is part 1 of the design process I use, to design new circuits from scratch, I show the conceptual details of the circuit in its simplistic block diag. form, then I show later how, the original...
View ArticleSCR flip flop design #2 (start of troubleshooting)
This is the first part of the process I go through in designing a new circuit, since I am not a professional in this field, I cannot make the claim that this is the way to design circuits, so I can...
View ArticleSCR flip flop design part 3 (#2 troubleshooting) final episode
This concludes the series of SCR flip flop design, This part gets into more intense detail of why the circuit later gave some very erratic outputs under certain input conditions, and how again I...
View ArticleA unique design for a BCD counter
In this design, I am traversing away from the classical method of building the BCD counter, where traditionally the flip flops are synchroneously clocked, in my design I'm synchroneously applying clock...
