Study Notes

Logic Gates

  • Logic gates are the fundamental building blocks of any digital system.
  • They are electronic circuits with one or more inputs and only one output.
  • The output depends on the input according to a specific logic.
  • There are three basic types of logic gates:
    • Basic Logic Gates
      • AND gate: The output is 1 only if all inputs are 1. (A AND B = AB)
      • OR gate: The output is 1 if at least one input is 1. (A OR B = A+B)
      • NOT gate: The output is the inverse of the input; if input is 1, output is 0. (NOT A = A')
    • Universal Logic Gates
      • NAND gate: The output is 0 only if all inputs are 1. (A NAND B = AB')
      • NOR gate: The output is 1 only if all inputs are 0.( A NOR B = A'B')
    • Special Logic Gates
      • EX-OR gate: The output is 1 if the inputs are different, and 0 if they are the same. (A XOR B = A⊕B)
      • EX-NOR gate: The output is 1 if the inputs are the same, and 0 if they are different.

Number System

  • Computers use numbers to represent everything, including data like text, images, and sounds.
  • There are four common number systems used in computing:
    • Binary: Uses only 0 and 1.
    • Octal: Uses digits 0-7.
    • Decimal: Uses digits 0-9.
    • Hexadecimal: Uses digits 0-9 and letters A-F (where A=10, B=11, etc.).

Data Representation

  • Digital computers use the binary number system to represent information.
  • Two primary methods for representing real numbers:
    • Fixed-point representation: The decimal point is fixed in a specific location.
    • Floating-point representation: The decimal point's position is represented separately, which provides greater range.

IEEE 754

  • This is a standard for representing floating-point numbers in computers.
  • It consists of three parts to store the number: sign, exponent, and mantissa.
  • Single precision and Double precision formats differ in the number of bits in each component of the representation.

Boolean Algebra

  • Boolean algebra is used to analyze and simplify digital logic circuits.
  • It uses binary numbers (0 and 1).
  • Variables have only two possible states, HIGH (1) and LOW (0).

De Morgan's Theorems

  • De Morgan's Theorems provide rules for simplifying Boolean algebraic expressions, and relate the complement of AND to OR operations, and vice versa.

Combinational Circuits

  • These circuits combine logic gates without any memory of past states.
  • Their outputs depend only on the current inputs.
  • Example circuits: Adder, subtractor, encoder, decoder, multiplexer, and demultiplexer.

Sequential Circuits

  • Sequential circuits have memory elements (flip-flops) that retain information from past states.
  • Their outputs depend on the current input values and past output values.
  • Example circuits: Flip-flops, Registers, Counters.

Half Adders/Subtracters

  • Half Adders: Add two single-bit binary numbers.
  • Half Subtracters: Used for subtracting two single-bit binary numbers.

Full Adders/Subtracters

  • Full Adders: Can add three input bits (two numbers and a carry in) to produce a sum and carry-out bit thus overcoming carry limitation of half adders
  • Full Subtracters: Can subtract three-input bits (minuend, subtrahend and borrow in) to determine a difference and borrow-out bit thus overcoming borrow limitations of half subtractors.

Booth's Algorithm

  • Booth's Algorithm is an efficient algorithm for multiplying two signed binary numbers.
  • It makes use of arithmetic shifts, based on variations of the input bits to improve calculation speeds.
