Study Notes
Digital Systems
- Digital systems manipulate discrete elements of information, in contrast to analog systems which handle continuous signals.
- Characteristics of digital systems include the use of signals to represent information, manipulation of discrete elements, and binary data representation.
- The Decimal Number System is base 10, utilizing digits from 0 to 9.
- Octal system operates on base 8, using digits 0 to 7.
Number Systems
- Hexadecimal system represents numbers using base 16, utilizing digits 0-9 and letters A-F; for example, the decimal number 10 is represented as A in hexadecimal.
- The advantages of digital systems over analog systems include high reliability, despite the potential for higher energy consumption.
Logic Gates
- AND gate outputs HIGH only when all inputs are HIGH.
- NOT gate inverts the input value, providing a LOW output when the input is HIGH, and vice versa.
- NAND gate is a universal gate, capable of creating all other types of gates.
Boolean Algebra
- The Boolean expression A + A' results in 1, indicating the principle of complementation.
- DeMorgan’s Theorem states that the complement of a product equals the sum of the complements.
- A Karnaugh map for four variables contains 16 cells, and is used to simplify Boolean expressions.
Minterm and Binary Operations
- A minterm for two variables A and B is expressed as A'B', representing the unique combination of variable states.
- The binary addition of 101 and 110 results in 1011, demonstrating carry-over in binary arithmetic.
- Two's complement is a method for representing negative binary numbers; for example, the two's complement of binary 1010 is 1110.
Output Properties and Functions
- An OR gate outputs LOW when both inputs are LOW, illustrating basic gate functionality.
- Commutative property in Boolean algebra states x + y equals y + x, allowing for rearrangement of terms.
- The canonical form of function F(A, B) = A + B is A'B' + AB + A'B + AB', providing a complete representation of all possible variable combinations.
