Digita circuit 1.ppt

Digital Fundamentals Analog : Being continuous or having continuous values. Digital : Related to digits or discrete quantities; having a set of discrete values. Binary : Having two values or states; describes a number system that has a base of two and utilize 1 and 0 as its digital. Bit : A binary digital, which can be either a 1 or a 0 . Pulse : A sudden change from one level to another, followed after a time, called the pulse width, by a sudden change back to the original level. Clock : The basic timing signal in a digital system. Timing diagram : A graph of digital waveforms showing the time relationship of two or more waveforms. Gate : A logic circuit that performs a specified logic operation such as AND or OR. Series : Having one element following another, as in a serious transfer of bits; occurring in sequence rather than simultaneously. Parallel : In digital system, data occurring simultaneously on several lines; the transfer or processing of several bits simultaneously. Logic : In digital electronics, the decision – making capability of gate circuits, in which a HIGH represents a true statement and a LOW represents a false one. LSB : Least significant bit; the right – most bit in a binary whole number or code. MSB : Most significant bit; the left – most bit in a binary whole number or code. Byte : A group of eight bits. Floating – point number : A number representation based on scientific notation in which the number consists of an exponent and a mantissa. Hexdecimal : Describes a number system with a base of 16. Octal : Describes a number system with a base of eight. BCD : Binary coded decimal; a digital code in which each of the decimal digits, 0 through 9 , is represented by a group of four bits. Parity : In relation to binary codes, the condition of evenness or oddness of the number of 1s in a code group. Hamming code : A type of error correction code. Inverter : A logic circuit that invert or complements its input. Truth Table : A t
