Study Notes
Sequential Circuits
- Switching circuits whose output depends on present inputs and past history are sequential circuits
- Synchronous sequential circuits have state transitions triggered by a clock pulse
- Asynchronous sequential circuits have state transitions triggered whenever input changes
Classification of Sequential Switching Circuits
- Classified as synchronous and asynchronous
- Synchronous circuits have state transitions occur on clock pulses
- Asynchronous circuits have state transitions triggered by input changes at any time
Logic Circuits
- Digital circuits follow a set of logic rules
- Circuit's logic refers to how the circuit responds to inputs
Advantages of Digital Systems
- More versatile
- Easier to store data
- Easier to design
- Less affected by noise
- More accurate and precise than analog systems
Limitation of Digital Systems
- "Real world is not digital, it is analog"
Hybrid Systems
- Combine analog and digital techniques in a single system
Digital System Design Stages
- System design
- Logic design
- Circuit design
System Design
- Breaks down the overall system into subsystems
- Defines characteristics of each subsystem
- Specifies interconnections and control of subsystems
- Example: Digital computer system design—specifies memory, arithmetic units, and input/output devices
Logic Design
- Determines how to interconnect logic building blocks to perform a specific function
- Example: Logic design for binary addition—determines interconnection of logic gates and flip-flops
Circuit Design
- Specifies interconnection of components (e.g., resistors, transistors, diodes) to form logical blocks (e.g., gates, flip-flops)
Positive Logic System
- Higher voltage level represents logic 1
- Lower voltage level represents logic 0
