Ok, here goes.
I need to drive some relays from the output of a CMOS SRAM IC. The relays are some little 6v armature things (Tyco TSC-106D3H), and the SRAM part number is IDT71016.
I know I need transistors to drive the relays (the IC can source 50 mA total), but how does one choose a transistor for a particular application? Also, I know I need diodes backward across the coils, but what kind?
For the reverse, switching the inputs via relays, I am planning on using a simple RC switch debouncing circuit with Schmitt trigger ICs (2 ICs of 8 Schmitt triggers each). The question is, what are typical values for the resistor and capacitor?
Finally, bypass caps: I have read that the typical value is 0.1 µF, but beyond that, what type of capacitor?
Oh, and obviously through-hole parts are preferable. This is going on protoboard.
