Flashcards

AND Gate

A digital logic gate that produces a HIGH output (1) only when all its inputs are HIGH (1). If any input is LOW (0), the output is LOW (0).

OR Gate

A digital logic gate that produces a HIGH output (1) if at least one of its inputs is HIGH (1). The output is LOW (0) only when all inputs are LOW (0).

NOT (Inverter) Gate

A digital logic gate that inverts its input. It produces a HIGH output (1) when its input is LOW (0), and a LOW output (0) when its input is HIGH (1).

Timing Diagram

A visual representation of the logic levels (HIGH or LOW) at different points in time for a logic gate. It shows the relationship between the inputs and the outputs.

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
