Study Notes
Sign and Magnitude Representation
- Sign bit indicates the number's positivity or negativity (0 for positive, 1 for negative).
- Decimal values are represented in binary through sign and magnitude encoding.
Two's Complement Conversions
- Positive numbers are converted to two's complement by simply converting them to binary.
- For negative numbers, the process involves:
- Converting the absolute value to binary.
- Calculating the one’s complement (inverting the bits).
- Adding 1 to the one’s complement to obtain the two’s complement.
Addition and Subtraction using Two's Complement
- Two's complement allows easy addition and subtraction of signed numbers.
- Adding negative numbers leverages two's complement representation:
- For example, adding -1 (1111) and -2 (1110) results in -3 (1101) in two's complement.
- Discarding carry out from the sign bit in addition keeps results valid.
Digital Logic Fundamentals
- Combinational logic outputs depend only on current inputs using logic gates.
- Sequential logic outputs depend on both current and past inputs, utilizing logic gates and storage elements.
- The truth table outlines possible input combinations and corresponding outputs.
Basic Combinational Circuits
- Include components like code converters, adders, subtractors, decoders, encoders, multiplexers, and demultiplexers.
Multiplexers and Demultiplexers
- A multiplexer (MUX) acts as a digital switch, routing multiple inputs to a single output.
- A demultiplexer (DEMUX) takes a single input and channels it to one of several outputs based on select lines.
Adder Types
- Half adder performs basic addition of two bits.
- Full adder handles three inputs, including a carry-in.
- Ripple Carry Adder enables addition across multiple bits, while Carry-Look-Ahead Adder improves performance.
Signed Binary Operations
- Signed complement arithmetic involves adding according to sign bits and managing sign overflow.
- Unsigned numbers cannot represent negative values, necessitating additional representation techniques like two's complement.
Even and Odd Parity
- Even parity ensures total number of '1's is even, generating a parity bit as needed.
- Odd parity requires an odd count of '1's, adjusting the parity bit to achieve this.
Designing Digital Circuits
- The design process involves determining inputs/outputs, deriving truth tables, simplifying Boolean expressions, and creating network diagrams.
- Specific applications include converting BCD to other forms and designing parity generators.
Verilog Example for Even Parity
- Verilog coding demonstrates the process for generating even parity output based on input bits using XOR operations.
These notes summarize key concepts in digital systems design, focusing on representation and operations with signed integers, combinational and sequential logic, and specific examples of circuit design and coding.
