Electronic Circuits for the Evil Genius 2/E

SECTION 6The First NAND Gate Circuit

THIS IS GOING TO LOOK very messy and complicated at first. As you get used to it, you will see that it really is very simple. In this chapter, we will do the following:

We will build and become familiar with a basic digital circuit.

We will learn how an analog signal is translated into a digital output, using different input devices.

We will be introduced to control timing in a resistor-capacitor circuit.
