    Study Notes

    Digital Fundamentals Chapter 6

    • Half-Adder: A digital circuit that performs binary addition, with two binary inputs (A and B) and two outputs (Sum and Carry).
    • Truth Table (Half-Adder): Summarizes the inputs and outputs of the half-adder for all possible combinations of input values (A and B).
    • Logic Symbol (Half-Adder): A visual representation of the half-adder using logic gates.
    • Full-Adder: A circuit that performs binary addition featuring three binary inputs (A, B, and Carry-in) and two binary outputs (Sum and Carry-out).
    • Truth Table (Full-Adder): Outlines how the full-adder functions for different binary input combinations.
    • Half Adder Circuit Construction: Full adders can be constructed from two half-adders configured in a specific way.
    • Carry Propagation Delay: Adding more bits increases the delay as the carry bit calculation is executed sequentially.
    • Parallel Adders: A design approach that combines full adders to efficiently add multiple-bit binary numbers (illustrated in a 4-bit adder).
    • Ripple-Carry: A carry propagation process through all the full adders, leading to a delay in the addition operation. An example is the carry propagation in a 4-bit parallel adder.
    • Look-ahead Carry Logic: A circuit that speeds up the carry propagation that is more efficient compared to using a ripple carry.
    • Boolean Functions: Equations (or logic expressions) that define the outputs of the digital circuit based on a combination of input values. For example: Carry (C₁) computation = A'B₁ + AB₁ + A₁B₁.
    • Logic Diagram of Carry Looka-Ahead Generator: Shows the logic gates involved in a carry lookahead circuit. Includes logic gates for P₁, G₁, P₂, G₂, and P, and G, etc., that determine the current stage's carry.
    • 4-Bit Carry Look-Ahead Adder Example: Illustrates the use of carry lookahead for a 4-bit calculation, showing the inputs, outputted values, and generated carry bits
    • Binary Subtractor Implementation: Details of building a binary subtractor from a basic adder
    • Overflow: A digital computer issue where the finite number of bits available to store a calculation result cannot accommodate an additional 'bit'. An overflow exists if the result has more bit than the available bit space.
    • Overflow on signed numbers: This type of overflow is determined by the sign bit, which is not treated separately in the calculation but considered as part of the number. An overflow does not exist if one is positive and the other is negative.
    • Overflow on unsigned numbers: The overflow is detected from the extra output carry bit of the MSB position (most significant bit position)
    • Decimal Adder Using BCD: Describes how a BCD (Binary coded decimal) adder handles numbers. Addition is done such as that no result exceeds 9.
    • Rules of BCD Adder: These rules dictate how the BCD adder works with binary inputs and specifies that no value can exceed 9 in the decimal output (output carry).
    • BCD Decoder/Driver: A circuit used to convert a decimal code to an active-LOW decoder
    • Multiplexer (MUX): A digital circuit that selects one of multiple input lines and directs its data to single output
    • DEMUX: (Demultiplexer ) A digital circuit that directs the data input from single line into multiple output lines based on control/select inputs. Has different applications than multiplexers
    • Code Converters-Binary-to-Gray: This circuit converts binary code into Gray code
    • Parity Generator/Checker: Circuits that evaluate odd or even parity within a given number of bits and whether to assign a additional bit, or 'parity bit', to the number
    • Encoders: Digital circuit that converts a single input to a coded output
