Study Notes

Digital Logic and Digital Systems

Topics covered include combinational vs. sequential logic, and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs)
Fundamental combinational logic is discussed

What is a Gate?

Building blocks for digital circuits
Combinations of transistors performing binary logic
Three elementary logic gates and various other simple gates
Each gate has a unique logic symbol for circuit diagrams
Functionality of each gate can be represented in truth tables or Boolean notation

Types of Logic Gates

Includes AND, OR, XOR, NOT, NAND, NOR, XNOR, Inverter, and Buffer gates
Each gate has a unique logic symbol and truth table

NOT Gate

Accepts one input value and produces one output value
Inverts the input value (0 becomes 1, 1 becomes 0)

AND Gate

Accepts two input signals
Output is 1 if both input values are 1; otherwise, the output is 0

OR Gate

If both input values are 0, the output value is 0; otherwise, the output is 1

NAND and NOR Gates

Essentially the opposite of AND and OR gates, respectively
Considered universal gates

XOR Gate

Exclusive OR gate
Produces 0 if both inputs are the same; otherwise produces 1

XNOR Gate

Exclusive-nor gate, logically equivalent to an XOR gate followed by an inverter

BUFFER Gate

Returns the same output as the input

Combinational Logic Circuit (CLC)

Digital logic circuits where outputs are determined by the current input state
Does not use memory elements
Does not require a clock signal

Characteristics of CLC

The output at any time depends solely on the current input terminals
Lack of memory elements
No backup or previous memory function
No requirement for a clock signal
Can have n number of inputs and m number of outputs
Input variables come from external sources
Output variables sent to external destinations

Half Adder

A combinational logic circuit with two inputs (A and B) and two outputs (sum and carry)
Designed for adding two single-bit binary numbers.
The basic building block for addition of two single bit numbers

Full Adder

Adds three bits at a time
Includes inputs A and B, as well as a carry-in (Cin)
Outputs include sum and carry-out (Cout)

Half Subtractor

A combination circuit with two inputs (A and B) and two outputs (difference and borrow)
Produces the difference between two binary bits at the input
Output (borrow) indicates if a 1 has been borrowed in a subtraction

Full Subtractor

Designed to subtract three 1-bit numbers (minuend, subtrahend, and borrow)
Has three input states and two output states (difference and borrow)

Comparator

A combinational circuit for comparing two digital or binary numbers
Determines if one binary number is equal to, less than, or greater than the other

Programmable Logic Devices (PLD)

Integrated circuits with programmable gates
Divided into AND array and OR array
Three major types: Programmable Read Only Memory (PROM), Programmable Array Logic (PAL), and Programmable Logic Array (PLA)

Decoders

Combinational circuits converting binary information into multiple outputs
Perform reverse operation of encoders
Examples include 2-to-4 line, 3-to-8 line, and 4-to-16 line decoders

Encoders

Combinational circuits converting multiple input lines into a smaller number of output lines
Examples include 4-to-2 line and 8-to-3 line encoders

Multiplexers (MUX)

Combinational circuits that have multiple inputs and a single output
Selects one of the input signals and routes it to the output

Demultiplexers

Combinational circuits with one input and multiple outputs
Directs the input to one of the output lines based on selection signals

Code Converters (e.g., Binary to BCD)

Circuits for converting between different binary codes. BCD (Binary Coded Decimal) is a common type of conversion, where each digit of a decimal number is represented by its equivalent four-bit binary code.

Display Decoder

Decodes an input value into a set of output signals to control a display device, often a 7-segment display.
7-segment display decoders, used in conjunction with a microcontroller, convert a BCD (Binary Coded Decimal) input into a signal that illuminates segments on the display.
The common cathode display is described, demonstrating how the Cathode connections are tied together to ground.
The common anode display is described as a contrast.

Advantages of CLC

Inexpensive LEDs
LEDs suitable for various temperatures
LEDs efficient in energy dissipation
