Study Notes
Digital Logic System
- Learning Outcomes: Students will define Boolean algebra, identify logic gates, illustrate gate representations, convert Boolean expressions to logic circuits, create truth tables for circuits, and explain digital logic theorems.
Boolean Algebra
- Definition: A branch of mathematics used in digital circuits developed by George Boole.
- Difference from Ordinary Algebra: Boolean algebra uses only two values (0 and 1), while ordinary algebra uses real numbers; boolean algebra has no subtraction or division, and has a complement operator.
- Basic Operations: Complementation (NOT), multiplication (AND), and addition (OR). These correspond to digital system inverters, AND gates and OR gates respectively.
- Logic Gates: Used to simulate mental processes, having one or more input signals and a single output signal.
- Basic Gates: NOT, AND, OR, are the fundamental logic gates
Logic Gates
- Definition: Digital circuits that represent logic operations.
- Types:
- NOT Gate (Inverter): Inverts the input signal (0 becomes 1, 1 becomes 0).
- AND Gate: Outputs 1 only if all input signals are 1.
- OR Gate: Outputs 1 if one or more input signals are 1.
Other Gates
- NAND Gate: An AND gate followed by a NOT gate; a universal gate
- NOR Gate: An OR gate followed by a NOT gate; a universal gate.
- XOR (Exclusive OR) Gate: Outputs 1 if inputs are different.
- XNOR (Exclusive NOR) Gate: Outputs 1 if inputs are the same.
Postulates and Theorems
- Postulates: Basic accepted truths in Boolean algebra, defining how operators behave with inputs 0 and 1.
- Theorems: Further properties of operators derived from postulates. Examples include commutative, associative, distributive, De Morgan's theorems.
Universal Gates
- Definition: Gates that can construct any gate using combinations.
- Examples: NAND and NOR are universal gates.
Equivalence Among Circuits
- Double Inversion: Inverts a signal twice has no effect on the final state (high remains high, low remains low)
- Conversion: Circuits can be implemented in different ways using different types of gates.
