    Dear Mr. Eater, I've been watching your videos now for the past couple of days, and I wanted to give you a sincere thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for finally explaining the fundamentals of computer logic and, basically, how CPUs really work, deep down inside. Throughout my life, I've been fascinated with hardware and assembly programming. Your vids are the first explanation, whether it be a book, article, video, etc., that I've come across that actually breaks it down in a simple, clear, and easy to understand way. Again, Thank You!

      Right? I've wondered about it all my life. Now it makes sense. Partly because of the 8-bit guy, but mostly because of Mr. Eater here. Actually, I had designed an SR latch in Minecraft before I ever saw this video. But I never would've know what I had made, or that it's actually used in the real world. But these videos have inspired me to forego the virtual world and set these circuits up on breadboards. 8-bit computer, here I come!

    Picked up a 74LS02 from my local hobby shop and made this circuit. Worked beautifully, thank you!
    I've done a whole bunch of Arduino stuff over the years, but not straight logic stuff. I want to make a little circuit to allow my 2 year old to turn her own light on and off on the bed, but specifically wanted separate on and off buttons to teach her the concept of on and off. The SR Latch is therefore perfect. And I figured while I could easily make this circuit with an Arduino, for a simple light on/off circuit, it would be massively overkill, so this hugely simplified it for me!

  • @mathmeetsmachines
    @mathmeetsmachines 3 месяца назад +1

    Very profound explainations! As a mathematician, my way to understand an RS latch is the following: If one input of a NOR gate is 0, the gate acts as an inverter on the second input. Hence, if both inputs R and S are zero, the signal goes in a circle of two inverters and obviously keeps its state. If one input of a NOR gate is 1, the output is 0, no matter what happens on the other input. That's it. Avoid the notation Q and Q bar. This eliminates all misconceptions about "invalid states". Use Q1 and Q2 instead.

    There's this really cool software I found called Crumb. It's a breadboard simulator. I have breadboards and components, but this software makes it so you don't have to deal with the mess and annoying meticulous wire placement. It's not perfect, but I was able to create the CPU Timer. I'm running into issues replicating the latches demonstrated in this video, but the issue is related to the fact that adding the LEDs throws in enough resistance to drop the voltage so a latch signal isn't high enough to complete the latch. However, the software allows you to view real-time voltage so without the LEDs you can see the effect at least.

      Feed the power line to one of the inputs through a large capacitor. The step function produced by switching on the power will be converted to an impulse function by the capacitor and that would set or reset the latch at power on (Depending on the input the cap is connected to).

    • @ericwazhung
      @ericwazhung 3 года назад +1

      ...yeah! Ben's technique of connecting an LED directly to the TTL output is quite clever, BUT it'd be a bad idea in so many cases, it's hardly worthwhile just to save one resistor.
      E.G. A red LED would bring a high output to 1.7V, which is too low for a TTL high input. Green and Blue, though, *might* be OK, depending on its forward-voltage AT the current it gets, which may be way lower than you'd calculate from ohm's law if you forget there's a transistor inbetween.
      Doing-so means looking at the specific chip's (and specific LED's) specifications very carefully. Is it a 74HC 74LS. What's VIH? What's IOH-Max?
      Frankly, I'm kinda surprised he thought this was a good idea to show newbs, at all, except maybe as a lead-up in an entire lesson about how bad a habit it is.

    Thx for the refresh. I had digital logic 40 +years ago. I know how to use a SR, JK or even D flip flop, but I forgot the basic circuit operation. I may use this in a class I teach next semester. It would make a great intro into how PLC systems work. When I studied, we used 2 transistors for the flip flop, monostable and astable multivibrator. Wow, I think one of my long lost neurons woke up. :)

    So, in an ideal setting where everything is timed perfectly, would the latch initially flicker both outputs on and off over and over at the same time until an input is activated?

      Hey I tried out turning the circuit On and Off many times. Majority of the times one of the LED gets on, sometimes the other LED gets On, and sometimes both LEDs turn on and one of the LED is very dim, and the other one is also dimmer than normal. An oscilloscope might help to see things better

      Remember that the IC is always powered from an external power source. The output doesn't (necessarily) come from the current into A and B, those are just "signals" which tell the gate to send output or not. The current on the output comes from the external power source.

      @seraphina985 5 лет назад

      The thing to remember is that the logic gate representation of the schematic here is simply an abstraction of what is going on, in reality a more complete diagram could be drawn showing the actual transistors that make up the logic gate switching the chips power and ground lines to it's output pin it's just that this additional level of detail is not necessary in practice.

      For example, if you look up the standard minecraft XOR gate design you will notice that it's made of an AND gate a NOT gate and an OR gate in the same configuration as what ben showed in the logic gates video.

    @R1C4RD0R3D15 7 лет назад +5

    If you make an SR latch that is used for turning on or off something, because of the arbitrary initializing of the 0 0 state, would the on and off buttons switch at random every time you unplug power? Because I'm pretty sure it does, do you have to slightly delay one of the signals upon startup to make sure they give the same truth table everytime?

    • @mike_98058
      @mike_98058 2 года назад

      That's my question also. With 2 outputs (LEDs here), we don't know which will come on first, so doesn't that also mean we don't know before hand which input will be R and which will be S. That also seems to mean we don't know which output is Q or not Q. I'm sure I'm missing something here ... time for researching SR latches!

    So i dont have NOR gate chips. I've tried using OR gate and add inverter made out of transistor and resistors to each OUTPUT of OR gate, but my SR latch wasn't latching. Is it because I wired something wrong, or there is some reason that it can not work this way?

      LittleRainGames Why would you? That would make it a Neg-NOR. The outputs for the Nor would be 0 0 0 1 therefore you have an inverted latch. Tell me if I'm wrong there, but that doesn't seem necessary and wouldn't fix his problem.

    I really like your videos. In this one, however, you never explains where the power to the LED comes from when no switch is pressed.
    Only a careful study of the diagram reveals that the chip is connected to plus at leg 7 and it is up to the viewer to guess that this somehow allows current to flow when no switch is pressed.
    This really needs to be explained.
