    Study Notes

    Digital Concepts

    • Key advantages of digital systems: noise immunity, data compression, and encryption.
    • Key disadvantages: quantization error and complexity.
    • Applications include computers, microcontrollers, DSP systems, and PLCs.

    Logic States

    • Digital systems operate with two states:
      • Logic 1 (TRUE, HIGH)
      • Logic 0 (FALSE, LOW)
    • Positive logic: lower voltage represents low (0), higher voltage represents high (1).
    • Negative logic: lower voltage represents high (1), higher voltage represents low (0).

    Number Systems

    • Various number systems used to represent and manipulate numbers include:
      • Decimal Number System
      • Roman Number System
      • Binary Number System
      • Weighted vs. non-weighted systems.

    Decimal and Binary Systems

    • In the decimal system, each digit's position is weighted as a power of 10.
    • In the binary system, each digit's position is weighted as a power of 2.

    Conversion Methods

    • Binary to Decimal conversion: represents binary digits as weighted sums of powers of 2.
    • Decimal to Binary conversion: uses successive division by 2 for the integral part and multiplication by 2 for the fractional part.

    Octal System

    • Octal numbers use base 8; they simplify long binary representations.
    • Conversion methods between octal and decimal mirror binary conversions.

    Binary Operations

    • Binary subtraction is analogous to decimal subtraction, involving borrow bits.
    • 1’s complement used for subtraction via addition; 2’s complement represents negative numbers.

    Special Number Representations

    • Binary Coded Decimal (BCD): each decimal digit represented in 4-bit binary.
    • Gray Code: a non-weighted binary code where successive values differ by one bit.

    Error Detection and Correction

    • Error detection involves adding extra bits to form valid and invalid codewords.
    • The Hamming distance measures how many bit positions differ between two codewords.

    Logic Gates

    • Basic building blocks include NOT, AND, OR, NAND, NOR, and XOR gates.
    • Integrated circuits (ICs) feature scaling from small to very large integration.

    Moore's Law

    • States that the number of transistors in an integrated circuit doubles approximately every two years.

    Dennard Scaling

    • As transistors reduce in size, power density remains constant, enhancing speed and reducing costs.

    Binary Logic

    • Utilizes two states (0 and 1), inherently linked to electronics and noise resistance.

    Basic Logic Gates Functions

    • XOR gate: output is 1 if an odd number of inputs are 1.
    • XNOR gate: output is 1 if an even number of inputs are 1.

    Construction of Logic Gates

    • TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) was developed for early computers.
    • Modern ICs predominantly use MOS (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) technology.

    Boolean Algebra

    • Deals with true (1) and false (0) variables to describe logical operations.
    • Fundamental operations include AND, OR, and NOT.
    • Basic Boolean laws include Commutative, Associative, and Distributive laws.

    Function Minimization

    • Allows simplification of Boolean expressions to reduce complexity.

    Minterm and Maxterm

    • Minterm: a product term representing a specific combination of variables yields 1.
    • Maxterm: a sum term representing a combination of variables yields 0.
