I always, always learn something from your uploads, really appreciate them, please never stop! Thank you.

nice analysis and great description. A small tip for LTspice - the blue traces are very hard to see, I usually change the color or at least choose a wider line width under Tools-Control Panel-Waveforms.

I've got one of these 74S04 in a microcomputer from that era. It's used around the 16MHz crystal to create an oscillator using 3 inverters, with the rest used for related circuits.

Excellert presentation, if not scary. Schottky was one of the inventors of the transistor, and a hero of mine.

I'd love to see a comparison to a 74GU04 from Potato Semiconductor. Their logic is designed to run in the GHz range.

im chompin' at the bit for a new electronupdate video!!!!

Fascinating video!

Still have one that self dissembled, by cooking it's lid off. Was the only device to fail on a whole box full of TTL, when the power supply decided to take a holiday, and gave the unregulated 14V rail to the 5V rail. Repair was by replacing every part of the power supply, from the pass transistors to the drivers, zener reference and all the resistors, and then replacing the crowbar circuit that should have blown the fuse, because it had not. Funny enough of 14V it all worked nearly normally.

Appreciated ltspice simulation.

love these !

I still have TTL chips in my parts bins and use 74S04 as needed. Hardly archaeology when parts are still in use and still available to buy in quantities of 1000+ from normal suppliers.

I was thinking the same thing - I've just ordered 5 from China . . . although admittedly, they are to repair some vintage arcade game boards

I've only one complaint, please use a larger size and a better contrasting colour for the lines you draw or when highlighting something. Now it is difficult to notice where you are drawing or highlighting at any given time. Otherwise your videos are excellent source of knowledge. Love from India. 🇮🇳

Great see the designs of the past Thanks for sharing:-)

Super interesting and informative, thanks!

Helpful video. I liked it

thankyou. It was hard to see and follow the cursor on this vid. can you turn on a shadow or larger cursor ? Where can i send a 1980s Sentinel-C dongle for you to do a vid on. they were the first of the security dongles.

Makes me feel old! I still think in TTL terms, or the MC equivalent.

Your work is beautiful. Personally I like more odd chips like optocouplers or mems, but regular logic is interesting nonetheless!

_Beam me up Schottky!_

Not 7nm, that's for sure. 😎
