Study Notes
Integrated Circuits (5.8)
- Learning Objectives include describing the operation and use of encoders and decoders (Level 2)
- Learning Objectives include describing the function of encoder types (Level 2)
- Learning Objectives include describing the uses of medium, large, and very large scale integration devices (Level 2)
IC Format and Integration Scales
- Digital integrated circuits (ICs) are collections of resistors, diodes, and transistors on a single semiconductor material (typically silicon)
- The chip is encased in a protective plastic or ceramic package with pins for connections
- Dual Inline Packages (DIPs) are common, with parallel rows of pins numbered counterclockwise from a notch
- DIP pin configurations are 14, 16, 20, 24, 28, 40, and 64 pins.
IC Dual Inline Package (DIP) chip
- The silicon chip is connected to the pins via very fine wires
- DIPs are a common type in older digital equipment, but other types are becoming more popular
- Digital Integrated Circuits (ICs) are categorized by complexity according to the number of equivalent logic gates
Complexity
- Small scale integration (SSI): Fewer than 12 gates per chip
- Medium scale integration (MSI): 12-99 gates per chip
- Large scale integration (LSI): 100-9,999 gates per chip
- Very large scale integration (VLSI): 10,000-99,999 gates per chip
- Ultra large scale integration (ULSI): 100,000-999,999 gates per chip
- Giga-scale integration (GSI): 1,000,000 or more gates per chip
Decoder
- A decoder is a logic circuit that accepts binary inputs and activates only the output corresponding to that input
- A decoder looks at its inputs, figures out which binary number is present, and then activates the corresponding output
- The diagram for a general decoder shows N inputs and M outputs
- Each input can be 0 or 1, creating 2N possible input combinations
- Only one output is active (HIGH) for each input combination; all other outputs are LOW
- Many decoders use active LOW output, making only the selected output LOW while others are HIGH
3-Line to 8-Line Decoder
- A diagram showing how a 3-input, 8-output decoder functionally works, and which output will be active for each input code. An example output table is shown*
BCD to Seven-Segment Decoder/Driver
- A BCD to seven-segment decoder takes a 4-bit BCD input and provides the output to display a decimal digit (0-9) through segments on an LED display
- The decoder circuit needs more logic because each output is activated for many input combinations (for example, the "e" segment is needed for 0, 2, 6, 8)
- Seven-segment LEDs have anodes tied to Vcc (+5V) and cathodes tied to current-limiting resistors to the decoder outputs (this is sometimes an open collector configuration).
Encoders
- An encoder has multiple input lines, and only one is activated at a time
- The encoder produces an N-bit output code based on which input is activated.
- A diagram showing the general structure of an encoder is included - with M inputs and N outputs*
Encoder 8 to 3
- An example of encoding showing how an 8-line input translates to a 3-bit output code
- Includes a truth table and a diagram of the circuit*
Priority Encoder
- A priority encoder activates the output code that corresponds to the highest-numbered activated input if more than one input is activated.
- Example: An encoder circuits for the 74147 (decimal input, BCD output). A truth table is included showing output codes versus input patterns.
- A diagram showing the logic symbol and truth table for the 74147 decimal to BCD priority encoder is included.*
Excess-3 EncodingÂ
- A table showing the BCD, Excess-3 codes and decimal equivalent for 0-9 is included.*
Gray Encoding
- Gray encoding only has one bit change between successive values
