    Study Notes

    Four-Variable K-Map

    • A four-variable K-map represents Boolean functions using variables w, x, y, z across 16 minterms.
    • Each minterm corresponds to a square in the K-map, determined by concatenating row and column numbers in Gray code.
    • Minterms can be combined to simplify Boolean expressions:
      • One square = four literals
      • Two adjacent squares = three literals
      • Four adjacent squares = two literals
      • Eight adjacent squares = one literal
      • Sixteen squares represent a constant function (1).
    • Example function F(w, x, y, z) = Σm(0, 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14) simplifies to y' and w'z' among others through adjacency.

    Encoder Circuit

    • An encoder converts multiple inputs into a binary representation, often facing ambiguities when multiple inputs are active.
    • Priority encoders resolve ambiguities by assigning priority levels to inputs, ensuring only the highest priority input is encoded.
    • The valid bit output (V) indicates if any input is active, preventing confusion when no input is present.
    • Outputs for input D3 (highest priority), D2, and D1 change based on the presence of higher priority inputs, establishing clear state outputs.

    D Latch and Flip-Flops

    • A D latch stores binary data (1 or 0) based on the D (data) and En (enable) inputs, eliminating indeterminacy.
    • Flip-flops are bistable multivibrators crucial for digital electronics, driven by clock signals for edge-triggered state changes.
    • A D flip-flop structure consists of two D latches (master/slave), where data transfer occurs at a negative clock edge.

    Secondary Storage

    • Secondary storage complements primary memory by providing less expensive, permanent solutions for large data sets.
    • Types include magnetic disks, optical disks, and flash memory, with slower access times but essential for infrequently accessed data.

    Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU)

    • The ALU performs arithmetic and logical operations crucial for processing tasks within the computer.
    • Operands must be brought into the processor from memory for operations like addition or comparison, with results stored back in memory or registers.
    • Registers are high-speed storage elements used to hold operands temporarily, enabling fast access compared to cache memory.

    Output Unit

    • The output unit functions to transfer processed data to external devices, such as printers and displays.
    • Printers, categorized as either laser or inkjet, output physically, albeit at slower rates than electronic processes.

    Steps for Instruction Execution

    • Instructions follow an opcode format and specify source and destination operands.
    • Example step sequence involves fetching the instruction, decoding it, accessing memory/registers, performing operations, and storing results.
    • Operations can involve both memory locations and registers, with specific actions dictated by the opcode.
