Study Notes
Boolean Algebra & Logic Gates
- Boolean algebra uses operators (+) and (.) for operations, unlike arithmetic algebra which uses subtraction and division
- Digital Logic uses Boolean algebra, not normal math
- Three fundamental logical operations (AND, OR, NOT/INVERTER) are used to perform all other functions
- AND gate: Z = 1 only if X = Y = 1, otherwise 0. Represented as X AND Y, X.Y, or XY.
- OR gate: Z = 1 if X = 1 or Y = 1 or both X = Y = 1, otherwise 0. Represented as X OR Y, X + Y.
- NOT (inverter) gate: Z = opposite of X. Represented as X'.
Digital Logic Gates
- Three fundamental logical operations (AND, OR, NOT) are used to derive more complex functions
- Basic functions named AND, OR, and NOT (inverter)
- All other functions, no matter how complex, can be derived from these three basic functions.
AND Gate
- Represented by various notations including X AND Y, X.Y, and XY.
- Function definition: Z = 1 if X = Y = 1, otherwise 0.
- Switch representation diagram also presented.
OR Gate
- Various notations include X OR Y and X + Y.
- Function definition: Z = 1 if X = 1 or Y = 1 or both, otherwise 0.
- Presents both symbolic diagram and switch representation.
NOT (Inverter) Gate
- Represented by a bar above the variable (e.g., X')
- Function definition: Output is the opposite of the input value.
- A bar over the variable represents inversion
Logic Gates Timing Diagram
- Diagrams show how gates react to various input signal combinations
- The horizontal axis denotes time, while the vertical axis displays signal changes (1 or 0) during those time intervals
Truth Tables
- Truth tables display input variable combinations and operation results (outputs)
- Tables illustrate how inputs correspond to outputs for logic operations
- Rows in the truth table are 2n where n is the number of input variables
- Binary combinations from 0 to 2n - 1
Boolean Expressions
- Can combine basic operations (AND, OR, NOT) to form complex mathematical expressions
- Example: f(x, y, z) = (x + y')z + x'.
- f is the name of the function
- Variables (x, y, z) represent 1 or 0 (inputs).
- A literal is any input variable or its complement, like x, y', z, or x'.
Boolean Expressions from Truth Tables
- Each 1 in a truth table output corresponds to a term in the Boolean expression
Other Gates
- Derived gates, such as NAND, NOR, XOR, and XNOR are described
- Function tables and diagrams are included
Basic Theorems of Boolean Algebra
- A collection of fundamental mathematical rules for Boolean algebra are provided.
- Key Theorems (e.g., Associative, Commutative, Distributive, DeMorgan's laws) are included in this section
DeMorgan's Law
- NAND gates and NOR gates follow DeMorgan's laws.
- The complement of a product is equal to the sum of the complements.
- The complement of a sum is equal to the product of the complements
K-Map Method
- Used to simplify Boolean expressions, using visual grouping of terms in a grid-like diagram.
- Allows for finding minimum forms of logical equations.
Arithmetic Circuits (Half Adder, Full Adder)
- Arithmetic circuits are combinational circuits that perform arithmetic functions in binary.
- Half adder (adds two bits), and Full Adder (adds three bits).
- The outputs include a sum bit and a carry bit
Multiplexer (Data Selector)
- A digital circuit that chooses one input among multiple inputs
- Based on the values of select input lines directs particular input to the output line
