Gate
|
A device that performs a basic opperation on electrical signals, accepting one or more input signals and producing a single output signal.
|
|
Circuit
|
A combination of interacting gates designed to accomplish a specific logical function.
|
|
Boolean algebra
|
A mathematical notation for expressing two valued logical functions.
|
|
Logic diagram
|
A graphical representation of a circuit; each type of gate has its own symbol.
|
|
Truth table
|
A table showing all the possible input values.
|
|
Transistor
|
A device that acts either as a wire or a resistor, depending on the voltage level of the input signal. Usually made from silicon.
|
|
Semiconductor
|
Material such as silicon that is neith a good conductor nor a good insulator.Used in transistors.
|
|
Combinational circuit
|
A circuit whose output is solely determined by its input values.
|
|
Sequential circuit or S-R Latch
|
A circuit whose output is a function of its input values and the current state of the circuit. Usually store information.
|
|
Circuit equivalance
|
The same output for each corresponding input-value combination for two circuits. A(B+C)=AB + BC
|
|
Adder
|
An electronic circuit that performs an addition opperation on binary values. 1+1= 10 binary
|
|
Full adder
|
A circuit that computes the sum of two bits, taking an input carry bit into account.
|
|
Half adder
|
A circuit that computes the sum of two bits and produces the appropriate carry bit. 1+1 sum 0 carry 1
|
|
Multiplexer
|
A circuit that uses a few input control signals to determine which of several input data lines is routed to its output.
|
|
Intigrated circuit (chip)
|
A piece of silicon on which multiple gates have been embedded.
