4.1.3 Integrated Circuits Flashcards
What are integrated circuits?
Combination of several electronic components in a common housing.
What are some of the disadvantages of integrated circuits?
Cannot be repaired
Need additional cooling
What are the three components normally integrated into an IC?
Semiconductors
Resistors
Capacitors
What are logic circuits
created on ICs and are made up of individual logic gates, that when assembled, perform the desired function.
What is used to construct logic gates?
Transistors
What does the symbol x mean?
Physical switch (input)
A switch in logic state 0 is what?
Open and therefore the system is off
What is a NOT gate also known as?
Inverter
What does a NOT gate do?
Invert the logic so that if the input is 0 then the output is 1.
How does an AND gate work?
If all the inputs are 1.
How does an OR gate work?
Only one input is required for an output.
What is the boolean algebra for an OR gate?
X = A+B (+ signifies OR)
What is a NAND gate?
Combination of AND and NOT, meaning AND must be met and then inverted.
What is a NOR gate?
Inverted OR gate. Essentially always off unless there is zero input.
What is an XOR gate?
Modified OR gate, there can only be one input for it to be on, if they’re both off or On then it is off
