New research paper titled “FlexiCores: low footprint, high yield, field reprogrammable flexible microprocessors” from researchers at University of Illinois and PragmatIC Semiconductor. “Flexible ...

Dan Geiger has created a new learning platform which has been specifically designed to teach you how a computer works at the most fundamental level, and even allows you to program in machine language ...

MikroLeo is a discrete TTL logic-based microcomputer intended for educational purposes created by [Edson Junior Acordi], an Electronics Professor at the Brazilian Federal Institute of Paraná, Brazil.

What we are going to do is design a simple 4-bit computer at the primitive logic gate and flip-flop level and then implement it in the technology of our choice I’ve often wondered what would happen if ...

The registers inside the CPU, the machine code instruction set, and the ways in which the instructions interact with the registers and status flags are all intertwined. As you may recall, one of my ...

[Agp.cooper] saw a vintage 4Kx4 bit RAM chip and decided that it needed a CPU design to match. The TTL design fits on two boards and has a functional front panel. This custom CPU project has a few ...

Microprocessors are wondrous devices: They integrate the brain of a computer onto a single electronic component. The computing power that once required a room full of equipment now fits onto a ...
