Study Notes
Digital Electronics: Lesson 6 - Logic Gates
- Digital computers use binary information (0s and 1s), unlike decimal systems.
- Binary is chosen due to its efficiency in electronic signal representation.
Logic Gates Concepts
- Logic gates represent fundamental building blocks of digital circuits.
- A distinction is made between combinational and sequential logic blocks.
- Combinational logic blocks have outputs which depend solely on input logic values.
- Sequential blocks' outputs are dependent upon prior state( stored information) alongside input values.
Types of Logic Gates
- AND: Output is 1 only when all inputs are 1.
- OR: Output is 1 if at least one input is 1.
- NOT/Inverter: Acts as a binary switch; input 0 gives output 1, and vice versa.
- NAND: Output is 0 only if all inputs are 1.
- NOR: Output is 1 only if all inputs are 0.
- XOR (Exclusive OR): Output is 1 if the inputs are different.
- XNOR: Output is 1 if the inputs are identical.
- Buffer: Output matches input. Provides a signal amplification, acts like a repeater for the signal
Boolean Functions & Logic Diagrams
- Boolean functions define the relationship between inputs and output using logical operators (AND, OR, NOT).
- Truth tables can be used to describe the operation of logic gates.
- Logic diagrams visualize the connections between gates in a digital circuit.
- Sum-of-products (SOP) circuits are a type of logical circuit that uses AND gates to generate the product terms which are then combined(OR) to produce the final output
Logic Diagram Examples
- Different logic diagrams can implement the same Boolean function resulting in equivalent functionality.
- Various digital logic diagramming examples were shown
Packaging of Digital Circuits
- Standard packages like Dual Inline Package(DIP) are used to contain digital components in order to ease circuitry implementation across different applications
- Dimensions and pinouts for typical DIP types (14, 20, and 28 pin DIPs) were shown.
TTL Digital Circuit Pin Diagrams
- Included diagrams for various 7400-series IC types.
- Pins have specific function implications, like
VCC(power supply) andGND(ground)
