Circuit confusion help
Can someone help me understand this circuit. I’m confused how both 5v and 12v are connected to same transistor Q63. Is 5/12v flowing through the same circuit when it’s turned on? Or is Q63 simply...

View ArticleHow are ICs named?
To me, ICs never have names that hint to their uses. For example, this AND gate from TI is named SN74LVC1G08. But that tells me nothing about what it does. Is there a naming process for ICs? And if so...
