    Study Notes

    Digital Electronics and Binary Numbers

    • Analog electronics use continuous signals to represent information, often used in radio and audio equipment and control systems. Common components include resistors, capacitors, inductors, and transistors.
    • Digital electronics use discrete signals to represent information more accurately. Digital systems consist of transistors, gates, and flip-flops, often packaged in integrated circuits, to manipulate binary data.

    Number Systems

    • The decimal system, used by humans, has a radix (base) of 10 (0-9 digits).
    • A number system's radix is the number of digits it uses. Generally, a number in a base-r system written as dndn-1...d0d-1...d-m is interpreted as Y= dnrn + dn-1rn-1 + ... + d0r0 + d-1r-1 + ... + d-mr-m where Y is the number value, di is the value of digit i, and r is the radix.
    • Binary numbers use base 2 (0, 1).
    • Octal numbers use base 8 (0-7).
    • Hexadecimal numbers use base 16 (0-9, A-F).

    Number Base Conversion

    • Conversion exists between decimal, binary, octal, and hexadecimal.
    • Methods exist to convert between these different base number systems.

    Binary Arithmetic

    • Binary addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are used in digital systems.
    • Four rules for binary addition: 0+0 = 0, 0+1 = 1, 1+0 = 1, 1+1 = 10.
    • Binary subtraction and borrowing rules follow addition rules.

    Complements

    • Diminished radix complements(r - 1) -9's complements (decimal)
    • 1's complements (binary)
    • Subtract each digit from (r - 1), to find the (r - 1)'s complement of a number N in base r using n digits .
    • Radix complements (r's)
    • 10's complements (decimal)
    • 2's complements (binary)
    • Obtain 1's complement, then add 1 to least significant bit (LSB).

    Subtraction Using Complements

    • Subtraction is performed as addition of the complement of the subtrahend to the minuend.
    • The result is adjusted as needed to account for end carries, which may signal negative results.

    Logic Gates

    • Basic logic gates are AND, OR, NOT.

    • More complex gates such as NAND, NOR, XOR, and XNOR can be constructed using combinations of basic gates.

    • Truth tables and timing diagrams define how these gates work.

    BCD Codes

    • Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) uses 4 binary bits to represent decimal numbers from 0 to 9.
    • The combinations 1010 to 1111 are not used in BCD.

    Error Detection Codes

    • Parity bits are used to detect errors in data transmission or storage.
    • These codes add an extra bit to the data to ensure either an even or odd number of 1's, allowing errors to be detected at the receiver.
    • Hamming codes can detect and correct single-bit errors.

    Other Logic Operations

    • Other logic functions for two or more variables are defined
    • Truth tables define the operation
    • Symbols and names are given to logic operations
