Pulse generator aids IC testing - 09/01/09 Test & Measurement World:As ICs increase in complexity and decrease in size, their pin counts drop or, at best, remain constant. The result: a need for pin-saving measures like serial programming. In the past, multiple pins might have been available for programming an IC’s current or voltage limit, but today’s ICs often encode that limit as a set number of pulses on a serial line. -- [Kevin Frick, Integrated Products, Sunnyvale, CA]

Set/Reset Flip Flop
- This is an example of a set/reset flip flop using discrete
components. When power is applied, only one of the transistors
will conduct causing the other to remain off. The conducting
transistor can be turned off by grounding it's base through the push
button which causes the collector voltage to rise and turn on the
opposite transistor. Copyright 2006 __ Designed by Bill Bowden

Use an Op Amp as a Set/Reset Flip-Flop - 05/24/12 EDN-Design Ideas Eliminate a flip-flop package by using a spare op amp for an SR latch function. You can make a set/reset flip-flop from two NAND or NOR gates or use readily available set/reset flip-flop ICs, such as the 74HC279 quad-set/reset latch. The drawback of these methods is that they require a large amount of space to form the flip-flop. Even if you need only one flip-flop, you must use a large IC package with this approach. However, you can use a spare rail-to-rail op amp to perform the needed latch function (Figure 1). Design by Aruna Rubasinghe
