Study Notes
- Analogue quantities, which are perceived by our senses, cannot be processed by digital circuits, so an analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) is used to convert them into digital signals.
- The ADC converts analogue signals into binary digits, which are then processed by a computer, producing a digital output.
- The digital output is then converted back into an analogue signal by a digital-to-analogue converter (DAC), allowing it to be perceived by humans.
- Electronic systems currently in use consist of both analogue and digital type circuits.
- A switch has only two possible states: open or closed, and binary variables can have only two possible states, represented by the digits '0' and '1'.
- Digital quantities are those that change in discrete steps, and electronic devices have become integral to daily life.
- Analogue electronics processes data in the form of analogue quantities, while digital electronics processes data in the form of digits.
- Logic gates are digital circuits that implement various logic operations, having one or more inputs but only one output.
- There are three basic logic gates: AND, OR, and NOT, and combinations of these gates include NAND and NOR gates.
- The AND gate gives an output of '1' only when all of its inputs are '1', the OR gate gives an output of '0' only when all of its inputs are '0', and the NOT gate gives an output that is opposite to the state of its input.
- Truth tables are used to display the values of inputs and outputs of logic gates.
- Boolean algebra handles variables that represent two types of logic propositions: 'true' and 'false', and operates with two logic states, '1' and '0', represented by two distinct voltage levels.
- Boolean algebra has become the cornerstone of digital electronics, allowing for the systematic development of complex digital systems.
