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 ...

There are many different ways in which we could implement our 4-Bit Chewy Computer — here are a few possibilities for you to peruse and ponder In my previous column on this topic — “Building a 4-Bit ...

With transistors and logic gates as our basic building blocks, we can begin to construct the actual circuits that make up computer memory. One of the simplest memory circuits is the AND gate, which ...

Just like we measure day-to-day things like time in seconds, mass in kilograms, and height in meters, computer memory and disc space are measured based on bytes. You would have probably come across ...

The awesome Digirule 2U is a small 8-bit programmable binary computer created by developer Bradley Slattery. Launched via Kickstarter this month, the project is coming to the end of its campaign with ...

Computer memory has taken on many forms over the years, from mercury-based delay-line tubes to handwoven magnetic core. These days, volatile storage using semiconductors has become ubiquitous with ...

Today we’re going to trace the history of these storage technologies. So we’ve talked about computer memory a couple times in this series, but what we haven’t talked about is storage. Data written to ...
