Quad 2-Input NAND Gate

A project log for ED-64: A discrete 8-bit computer

ED-64 will be an 8-bit computer built with discrete components, and will feature a ferrite core memory (documented as a separate project).

The first NAND module has passed testing:

A screencap of the schematic of one of the gates (1/4 of the module):

As you can see, it is basically my standard complementary-driven totem pole output, with a couple of schottky diodes in a wired-AND input configuration.

Almost ready to start populating the stack address decoder panels....!

For a stack address decoder:

6 x FF
6 x quad AND
4 x quad NAND
4 x quad OR
4 x 2-to4 decoders

OR modules are in production...

  Are you sure? yes | no

I can't wait to see them all work together !
