Study Notes

Digital Logic Circuit Basic Concept

The lecture will use a PowerPoint read function
Native English pronunciation will be used
Learners are encouraged to use Korean when asking questions and English when answering

History of "Logic"

Aristotle (384-322 BC): Ancient Greek philosopher, considered the beginning of logic
Aristotle's book Organon consists of six books, each covering different aspects of logic, including syllogism
A syllogism is a logical structure that draws conclusions from two premises. Example: 1. The Himalayas contain some of the highest peaks in the world, 2. Mount Everest is located in Nepal, 3. Therefore, Nepal contains one of the highest peaks in the world.
René Descartes (1596-1650): French philosopher, mathematician, and scientist, helped lay the foundation for propositional logic and set theory. His statement, "I think, therefore I am," exemplifies logical analysis.
A proposition is a sentence that can clearly judge true or false. Example, a smart student cannot be a proposition because smartness is subjective.
Concepts from propositional and set theory, such as conjunction, intersection, and complement, are fundamental to digital circuit design.
Blaise Pascal (1623-1662): French philosopher and inventor, introduced a mechanical calculator called the Pascaline. His philosophy focused on the impact of circumstances on human judgments

History of Digital Systems

George Boole (1815-1864): Developed Boolean logic, a foundation of digital systems, through Mathematical Analysis of Logic (1847) and An Investigation of Laws of Thought; Mathematical Theories of Logic and Probabilities (1854)
Claude Shannon (1916-2001): Developed a way to apply Boolean logic to electrical circuits, marking an important step in the development of digital systems, through Symbolic Analysis of Relay and Switching Circuits.
Alan Turing (1912-1954): Made significant contributions to computer science and the development of computational concepts and laid the groundwork for the Turing Machine and the Turing Test.
The Imitation Game (2014) movie depicts the story of Alan Turing

Basic Concept

Digital Systems: Focuses on the interconnection between digital components and modules. The General Purpose Computer is the best example.
Logic Circuit Design: Deals with basic concepts and tools for designing digital hardware consisting of logic circuits that perform arithmetic operations (+, -, x, /)
Digital Signal: Decimal values are difficult to represent in electrical systems. It's easier to use two voltage values (on and off) for simpler representation

Need of Digital Signals

All real-life signals are analog, but digital signals are used to represent data as a series of discrete values.
Digital signals are resistant to noise, easier to detect and correct errors, and easier to compress and process.
Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC): Converts analog signals to digital signals.
Pulse-code modulation (PCM): A method for representing sampled analog signals digitally.
Sampling: Converting a continuous-time signal into a discrete-time signal. The sampling rate (in Hertz) must be at least twice the highest frequency component in the signal.
Quantizing: Assigning each sample to the nearest digital value.
Encoding: Determining the bit depth (number of bits for each sample)

Binary Digital Signal

Binary Digital signals: For digital systems, the variable takes on just two possible values (0 or 1). These values are represented abstractly by on/off, high/low, true/false.
Information variable represented by physical quantities. Values could be voltages, currents, or other electronic values.

Representation of Digital Information

Bit, nibble, byte, words (all relating to size of digital representation).
Bit: The smallest unit, either 0 or 1
Nibble: 4 bits
Byte: 8 bits
Word: A length of a command or data handled by a particular CPU (usually 4 bytes)

Metric Prefixes

Metric prefixes denote powers of 10.

AI Learning: ANI, AGI, ASI

ANI (Artificial Narrow Intelligence): AI designed for specific tasks, such as AlphaGo
AGI (Artificial General Intelligence): AI used for a wide range of tasks
ASI (Artificial Super Intelligence): AI capable of exceeding human intelligence and learning independently.
