Transistors are tiny electronic components that act as switches and amplifiers, and they dwell at the heart of modern technology. In simple terms, a transistor can turn a flow of electricity on or off ...

With transistors and logic gates as our basic building blocks, we can begin to construct the actual circuits that make up computer memory. One of the simplest memory circuits is the AND gate, which ...

This is the third installment in our CPU design series. In Part 1, we covered computer architecture and how a processor works at a high level. Part 2 explored the design and implementation of ...
