Help needed urgently!!

Briefly discuss the effect of using a switch to clock a digital circuit & sketch a circuit diagram to overcome this problem

&


Discuss the key characteristics of the 7476 & 74hct112 logic families

Hi,

You'll need a debounce citcuit to use the switch and get a good clock. An R-S latch works very well for that. Look at a 74xx279 for the function, anthough a pair of NAND gates will work as well.

You will find a lot of difference between original TTL and CMOS HCT logic. Datasheets should explicitly spell out those differences.
