Video: Digital Systems Series Part III (The NOR gate)
Part three of the basics in Digital Systems series explains the NOT OR “NOR” gate, its meaning and how it used in Boolean algebra. The fundamentals to Digital Systems relates to 1’s and 0’s (binary numbers). Binary logic consists of binary values and logical operations. Letters of the alphabet designates the ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’, ‘X’ […]
How to Read Your DC Power Supply’s Data Sheet
by Kevin Cavell, Product Manager for Power Products, Agilent Technologies, Inc. Before powering up your device for the first time, read your power supply’s data sheet! Going through the top specifications, knowing as much as you can about your device, will help you choose the right power supply. When it comes time to power up […]
WAGO Compact DIN-Rail DC/DC Converters
WAGO Corporation’s Engineering Services Division has developed DC/DC Converters that pack the characteristics of a 110 V power supply into a 6mm-wide DIN-rail terminal block. Traditionally, driving low current circuits, e.g., analog transducers at 10 V, within a control panel requires an extra 110 V power supply. The 859 Series DC/DC Converters eliminate redundant power […]
