Hi Gurus,
TTL/CMOS related questions are typical to newcomers to this hobby.
So here's another one
When I started (as a hobby), not a long time ago, I was discouraged going 'CMOS style' because of all the ESD warnings and the described precautions that should be taken while 'CMOSing'. So I went TTL... bought some gates....started working on something (of course some literature was also involved in a learning curve)
For the last couple of days, after reading more regarding ESD and how people actually work with CMOS (at home...not THAT much cautious...and all works fine) - I understand that all this "ESD handling" is not that difficult (in home/hobby environment) - so I ask myself - "Why wouldn't I switch to CMOS (wider Vcc range, more fanouts...) ?"
If the ESD handling factor is out of consideration, is there any reason why would someone go TTL (for a new projects), and not CMOS ?
Thanks.
