    Study Notes

    Analog vs Digital Systems

    • Analog signals are continuous, while digital signals are discrete (finite).
    • Analog systems are susceptible to noise and signal degradation over distance.
    • Digital systems have limited resolution, while analog systems have infinite resolution.
    • Analog systems are easier to program and reconfigure, while digital systems are faster and smoother in real-time.

    Analog to Digital Conversion (ADC)

    • ADCs convert continuous analog signals into discrete digital values.
    • Resolution is related to the number of bits (higher bits = finer resolution).
    • Sampling rate is the frequency at which the analog signal is sampled.
    • Resolution, sampling rate, and input range affect ADC accuracy and performance.

    Digital Logic Gates

    • AND: Output is 1 if all inputs are 1; otherwise, 0.
    • OR: Output is 1 if at least one input is 1; otherwise, 0.
    • XOR: Output is 1 if exactly one input is 1; otherwise, 0.
    • NAND: Output is 0 if all inputs are 1; otherwise, 1.
    • NOR: Output is 1 if none of the inputs are 1; otherwise, 0.

    Logic Operations

    • Binary: Uses 0 and 1.
    • Bit: Single binary digit (0 or 1).
    • Nibble: 4 bits.
    • Byte: 8 bits.
    • Word: Multiple of a byte.
    • Number representation: Max number = (2n−1) given n bits

    Parity

    • Parity checking determines if a word has an odd or even number of 1s.

    Logic Simplification

    • Karnaugh maps (K-maps) are graphical tools for simplifying logic expressions, minimizing the number of logic gates needed.
    • Suitable for 4-6 variables and beyond.

    Key Differences

    • Analog data is continuous; digital data has finite possible values.
    • Analog signals usually have infinite possible values, and are more susceptible to noise.
    • Digital systems have discrete values (0 or 1) making them less sensitive to noise.

    Hybrid Systems

    • These systems combine analog and digital components.
    • Sensors often produce analog data which is then converted for processing by digital circuits.
