Study Notes

Combinational Logic Circuits

  • Combinational logic circuits are composed of basic logic gates connected to produce more complex switching circuits.
  • Logic gates are the building blocks of combinational logic circuits.

Example of Combinational Circuit

  • A decoder is a type of combinational circuit that converts binary code data into a number of different output lines, producing an equivalent decimal code as its output.

Specifying Combinational Logic Circuit Functions

  • There are three main ways to specify the function of a combinational logic circuit:
    • Boolean Algebra
    • Truth Table
    • Logic Diagram

Example Circuit

  • The example circuit consists of four inputs (A, B, C, and Δ) and one output (x).
  • The circuit has three logic gates:
    • An AND gate with inputs A and B, whose output is connected to a NOT gate
    • A NOT gate with input from the AND gate, and output connected to an AND gate with inputs B and C
    • An AND gate with inputs B, C, and the output of the NOT gate, producing the output x

Key Differences between Analog and Digital Signals

  • Analog signals have a continuous waveform and more power
  • Digital signals are discrete and have less power

Period

  • The time taken to complete one cycle of a waveform from start to end
  • Calculated using the formula: T = 1/f, where T is the period and f is the frequency
  • Example: if the frequency is 3 GHz, the period is 3 x 10^(-9) seconds or 3 ps

Wavelength

  • The distance of one complete cycle of a waveform from start to end

Amplitude

  • The vertical displacement of a waveform from its equilibrium position to its peak

Frequency

  • The processing speed of a waveform, measured in Hertz (Hz)
  • The number of oscillations per unit time
  • Example: 3 GHz is a frequency of 3 billion oscillations per second
