- Digital audio and video formats
- Concepts of Microprocessor, Microcontroller
Prerequisites
- Signals can be of two types: analog and digital.
- Analog signals have continuous values and can have an infinite number of values.
- Digital signals have a finite number of distinct values, and are discrete signals.
- Logic levels represent states: High (1) corresponds to a higher voltage (e.g., 5V, 3.3V), and Low (0) to a lower voltage (e.g., 0V).
Logic Gates
- Fundamental building blocks of digital circuits.
- Perform basic logical functions.
- Each gate takes one or more binary inputs (0 or 1) and produces a single binary output based on a logical operation.
- Various types: AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR, XOR, XNOR.
AND Gate
- Has two or more inputs and one output.
- Output is high (1) only when all inputs are high.
- Output is low (0) if any of the inputs are low.
OR Gate
- Has two or more inputs and one output.
- Output is high (1) if any or all inputs are high.
- Output is low (0) only when all inputs are low.
NOT Gate
- Single input, single output.
- Known as an inverter.
- Inverts the binary signal at the input.
Universal Gates
- NAND and NOR gates are called "universal gates"
- Allow creation of any other logic gate.
- Allow for the creation of complete circuits.
NAND Gate
- Has two or more inputs and one output.
- Output is low (0) only when all inputs are high.
- Output is high (1) in all other cases.
NOR Gate
- Has two or more inputs and one output.
- Output is high (1) only when all inputs are low.
- Output is low (0) in all other cases.
Exclusive-OR (EX-OR) Gate
- Has two or more inputs and one output.
- Output is high (1) when an odd number of inputs are high
- Output is low (0) when both inputs are low or both are high.
Exclusive-NOR (EX-NOR) Gate
- Has two or more inputs and one output.
- Output is high (1) when the inputs have the same value (both high or both low).
- Output is low (0) when the inputs have different values.
Summary of Gates
- AND Gate: Outputs 1 only if all inputs are 1.
- OR Gate: Outputs 1 if at least one input is 1.
- NOT Gate: Inverts the input.
- NAND Gate: Outputs 0 only if all inputs are 1.
- NOR Gate: Outputs 1 only if all inputs are 0.
- XOR Gate: Outputs 1 if an odd number of inputs are 1.
- XNOR Gate: Outputs 1 if all inputs are the same.
Categories of Logic Circuits
- Combinational Circuits: Output depends only on current input values.
- Sequential Circuits: Output depends on current input values and previous circuit states
1-bit Memory Cell
- Fundamental building block for digital memory.
- Stores a single binary digit (0 or 1).
- Implemented using various configurations of flip-flops.
- Can be implemented using SR Latch.
SR Latch
- Basic memory circuit.
- Made from cross-coupled NOR or NAND gates.
- Stores a single bit of information.
- Has two inputs: Set (S) and Reset (R).
Clock
- In digital electronics, signals are used with rectangular waveforms.
- Logic 1 represents an electric pulse.
- Logic 0 represents the absence of an electric pulse.
Flip-Flop
- Electronic logic circuit with two inputs and one output.
- Used for storing data values permanently until changed.
- Basic technology behind computer memory chips.
S-R Flip-Flop
- Output changes only when the timing control is high.
- Timing control (gate, clock, latch enable) coordinates when new data is written.
- Holds data while the clock is low.
D Flip-Flop
- Variant of S-R flip-flop.
- Eliminates the problem of undefined outputs (S=R=1).
- Output follows the D input while the clock is high.
- Holds the last value of Q when the clock is low.
J-K Flip-Flop
- Versatile flip-flop.
- No indeterminate condition in operation.
- Output changes its previous condition when all inputs are 1 and clock is applied.
Toggle (T) Flip-Flop
- Single-input version of the J-K flip-flop.
- Output toggles (changes) with each clock pulse.
- Outputs remain in hold state (no change) when the clock is low.
Shift Registers
- Sequential circuits for storing and shifting data.
- Constructed from multiple flip-flops.
- Increase storage capacity by connecting flip-flops in a chain.
- Data can be shifted left or right.
- Various modes of operation (SISO, SIPO, PISO, PIPO).
Counters
- Sequential circuits for counting input pulses.
- Asynchronous (ripple) counters: Each flip-flop toggles based on the output of the preceding flip-flop.
- Synchronous counters: All flip-flops change state simultaneously based on a common clock signal.
ADC and DAC Converters
- Convert analog signals to digital signals (ADC) or vice versa (DAC).
- Necessary to convert physical quantities to digital form for easier processing and storage.
Digital Audio Formats
- MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer III)
- WAV (Waveform Audio File Format)
- FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec)
- AAC (Advanced Audio Codec)
- OGG (Ogg Vorbis)
Digital Video Formats
- MP4 (MPEG-4 part 14)
- AVI (Audio Video Interleave)
- MOV (QuickTime Movie)
- MKV (Matroska Video)
- WMV (Windows Media Video)
Microprocessor
- Integrated circuit (IC) containing the core functions of a CPU.
- Programmable.
- Accepts binary data as input, processes it as per instructions in memory.
- Produces output.
- Used in personal computers.
Microcontroller
- Includes CPU, memory, and I/O functions on a single chip.
- More cost-effective and less complex than using separate components.
- Used in embedded systems.
