Micro-dioded logic discarded

2/5/2010

I've been considering the use of diodes matrixes for a while, or what I called "micro-dioded logic". However, a simple "test of concept" experiment proved that the use of a diodes matrix for building sequences is not a good trend.

The images below shows a portion of the drawing. You can see the matrix rows being fed from the Decoder's outputs.


As expected (hence the purpose of the test), sparks appear at those points when the decoder's outputs change.


I could cut the spark with a simple RC low-pass filter circuit (R=100 Ohm, C=47pf), as shown bellow:


However, this is not the kind of solution I seek, so I decided to discard Diodes Matrix all together as a technique for building sequences.
