...in a more open general way, rather than for the specific project i'm working on.
im currently looking at using some of the 4000 range, decade counters, 7 segment drivers etc, but where do you start?
i can find a page with a listing of 4000 - 4100, each chip with its title, pin outs, specifics and some backround info, but theres another 900 chips (maybe) in this range, and then theres the other ranges of chips..
so off to wiki we go;
BCDMOS
BiCMOS
Bipolar junction transistor
CMOS
GaAs
Integrated injection logic
Logic family
Mixed-signal integrated circuit
MOSFET
Multi-threshold CMOS (MTCMOS)
NMOS logic
Depletion-mode NMOS logic
PMOS logic
RC delay
SiGe
and on, and on... i know what i want to do in my head, i can google search... but there must be a better way...
ill end up linking a 4011 into a 4059 into a 4512, post it up with the errors / finished product and some smartalec will come back with, oh, all of this can be replaced by a 4714... (for example)
what would be EPIC would be a book with a huge chunk of chips in that you can reference, but thoughts from some seasoned peeps wouldn't go amiss!
