Study Notes
Tri-State Buffers
- A tri-state buffer is a device that allows control over when an output signal reaches the bus.
- When the control bit is active, the input signal passes through to the output; when inactive, the output is high-impedance or Z (nothing).
- Multi-bit tri-state buffers can be implemented using multiple single-bit tri-state buffers.
- Tri-state buffers are necessary to prevent multiple devices from writing to a bus simultaneously.
Bus Communication
- Multiple devices can read from a bus, but only one device should write to it at a time.
- Tri-state buffers enable control over what gets on the bus and what doesn't.
Flip-Flops
- A flip-flop is a circuit with two stable states, used to store state information.
- Flip-flops have control inputs and one or two outputs.
- They are fundamental building blocks of digital electronics systems.
- Flip-flops can be divided into types: SR, D, T, and JK.
- A D flip-flop captures the value of the D-input at a specific clock cycle and stores it as the Q output.
Output Interfacing
- Output interfacing involves outputting data from the data bus to external devices.
- Components used in output interfacing include D-flip flops and latches.
Latches and Buffers
- Latches, such as 74LS374, are used to latch and hold data for input to the controller and output to external devices.
- Latches protect the controller from external device shorts.
- Buffers, such as 74LS244 and 74LS245, are used in interfacing circuitry to input and output data between the CPU and external devices.
- A buffer's output always follows its input.
- A latch stores data and holds it until instructed to change.
- A flip-flop is a type of latch that captures data at a specific clock cycle.
