Ch 16 Flashcards
Digital quantities
Quantities whose values vary in non continuous manner
Analogue signal
A continuously varying signal
Digital signal
A signal that can have only two discrete values
Analogue to digital converter
A special circuit has been designed which converts the analogue signal into a digital one in the form of digits in binary form
Digital to analogue
The output of the computer is again converted into an analogue form by a circuit
Binary variables
Such things which can only have two possible states
Logic gate
A switching circuit it’s output can have only one of the two possible states either a high voltage 1 or a low voltage 0 it is either on or off
Logical operations
Digital circuits perform the binary arithmetic operation with binary digits 1 and 0 these operation are called logical operations
And gate
Output of and gate will be only 1 when all of its inputs are at logic 1 and for all other situations output is 0
Or gate
The value of output of or gate will be 1 when anyone of its inputs is at 1 the output will be 0 when all inputs are at 0
Not gate
Not gate works in such a way that if it’s input is 0 it’s output would be 1 if it’s 1 then it will be 0
Inverter , complementation
Not gate performs the basic logical function called inversion or complementation not gate is also called inverter
