Learn Digital Clock Basics [PyroEDU]
Posted May 2, 2013 by Chris
Time for another new lesson on PyroEDU’s current course: Introduction To Digital Electronics course and it’s called Clocks and Oscillators. Here is what this week’s lesson is all about:
The heart and soul of any digital system is the main clock signal. It drives every single flip-flop that is inside of the system and therefore it is the most important signal. In this lesson we will learn how to use a 555 timer as a clock signal generator and we will also look at using crystal oscillators to generate clock signals.

it’s mostly been that some kinds of resistors are not ac resistance and are dc?
August 17th, 2013 at 11:53 pm
Hello.
AC or DC does not matter. The resistor will still limit the amount of current that can flow through a circuit.

we got disappointed when ac resistor got blown or scorch at ac 260 voltage?
August 18th, 2013 at 12:04 am
Hello.
Probably because you exceeded the maximum power that the resistor could handle. Most resistors are limited to 1/4, 1/2 or 1 Watt at most. Special resistors can handle much more power, but they are not often seen in designs.
