Study Notes

ECOR1044: Boolean Logic

This course covers motors and drives, unsigned binary, Boolean logic gates, and algebra.

Motor/Generator

A motor/generator has a rotor that spins in a magnetic field.
This field can be created by permanent magnets or coils.
The process of generating a magnetic field using an electric current is called excitation.

Electrical Motor Drive

Components include a rectifier, fixed DC voltage, inverter circuit, and a motor.
The waveform is shown being approximated.

Single Phase Uncontrolled Half Wave Rectifier

The circuit includes components like VD, S, D, and R.
Inputs and outputs show the voltage and current waveforms.

Single Phase Uncontrolled Full Wave Rectifier

The diagram shows components like D1, S, and D2.
Component waveforms are illustrated.

Three Phase Uncontrolled Full Wave Rectifier

The diagram includes diodes (D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, and D6)
Illustrated waveforms display voltage and current.

Self-Commissioning & Auto-Diagnostic Drives

These drives have capabilities for self-commissioning and auto diagnostic features

Analog or Digital?

Analog:
- Continuous signals.
- Infinite possible values
- High noise sensitivity
- Complex hardware, but high resolution and accuracy
Digital:
- Discrete signals.
- Finite values.
- Low noise sensitivity
- Simple hardware
- May lose information during sampling.

Hybrid System

Hybrid systems combine analog and digital components for optimal performance.
Sensors produce analog signals converted to digital by an ADC.

Hybrid System Applications

Used in communication systems, control systems, and audio/video equipment.

Digital Signals: What is Binary?

Binary is a number system with only 0 and 1.
It's base-2, unlike the decimal system's base-10.
Crucial in digital computing as it maps neatly to on/off states in electrical circuits.

Digital Signals: Binary (Base-2)

Binary system (base-2) is an alternative to the decimal system.
In decimal, we have 0–9. After 9 we carry 1 to the left and reset.
A "bit" is a single 0 or 1.
A "nibble" is a group of 4 bits.
A "byte" is a group of 8 bits.
"Word" is a group of bits whose size varies based on the processor.

Why Binary is Important

Digital systems use binary to process data.
Binary simplifies circuit design in processors, memory, and storage.
Logic gates (AND, OR, NOT) use binary.
Binary represents various forms of data (numbers, text, images).

Application of Binary

Computers, networking, and data storage all depend on binary.

Decimal versus 4-bit Binary Numbers

This table illustrates the conversion between decimal and 4-bit binary numbers from 0 to 15.

###Digital Signals: Binary (Base-2)

In an n-bit word, up to 2ⁿ states can be represented. (0 to 2ⁿ-1).
To find the minimum number of bits needed, use the formula: N_minimum = log₂(N_um + 1) (where N_um is the number being represented). The result must be rounded up to the next highest whole number.

Converting between Binary and Decimal

Examples provided for converting between decimal and binary numbers.
The process for converting decimal to binay is provided

Digital Signal Waveform

Typical digital signal waveforms are shown in the form of voltages over time.
1s and 0s are represented by voltage levels (on/off) rather than exact values.

Introduction to Boolean Logic/Algebra

Boolean algebra uses two values: 0 (False, Low) and 1 (True, High).
Variables can only be 0 or 1.
Essential operations include NOT, AND, OR, XOR, NAND, and NOR.

Operations in Boolean Algebra

AND (ab or a·b): When both inputs are 1 the output is 1. Otherwise the output is 0.
OR (a + b): When either input, or both, are 1 , the output is 1. Otherwise, the output is 0.
XOR (exclusive OR) (a+b): When exactly one of the inputs is 1, the output is 1. Otherwise, the output is 0.
NAND: The output is 0 only when both inputs are 1. Otherwise, the output is 1.
NOR: The output is 1 only when both inputs are 0. Otherwise, the output is 0.
XNOR: The output is 1 if both inputs are the same (both 0 or both 1).

Equations from Digital Circuits

Examples of determining equations for digital circuits using Boolean algebra.

XOR and XNOR

Formulas for XOR and XNOR are combinations of ANDs and ORs.
Truth tables for XOR and XNOR showing their outputs based on input values of 1 or 0 are shown.

Formulas from Truth Tables

Examples showing how to determine the equations from truth table values.
