    Representing Binary Quantities

    • Digital systems process information in binary form

    • In electronic digital systems, binary information is represented by voltages or currents at inputs/outputs

    TTL Voltage Levels

    • In digital systems, the exact voltage value is not crucial; a range of values can represent the same binary value

    • Basic logic operations in digital circuits
    • Logic gates perform these operations on inputs to produce outputs (e.g., AND, OR, NOT)
