DE 1.2 Flashcards
The instantaneous voltage of a waveform. Often used to mean maximum amplitude, or peak voltage, or a pulse.
Amplitude
An algebraic expression made up of Boolean variables and operators, such as AND (-), OR (+), or NOT (-). Also referred to as Boolean function or a logic function.
Boolean Expression
Type of flip-flop in which the D (data) input is the synchronous input.
Clocked D Flip-Flop
A series of logic 1s and 0s plotted as a function of time.
Digital Waveform
One style of integrated circuit package which has two rows of lead.
Dual In-Line Package (DIP)
Fraction of the total period that a digital waveform is in the HIGH state. DC = th/T (often expressed as a percentage: %DC = th/Tx100%).
Duty Cycle (DC)
The part of a pulse where the logic level is in transition from a HIGH to a LOW.
Falling Edge
A sequential circuit based on a latch whose output changes when its CLOCK input receives a pulse.
Flip-Flop
The number of cycles per unit time of a periodic waveform.
Frequency
Unit of frequency. One hertz equals one cycle per second.
Hertz (Hz)
An electronic circuit having many components, such as transistors, diodes, resistors, and capacitors, in a single package.
Integrated Circuit (IC)
Also called a NOT gate or an inverting buffer. A logic gate that changes its input logic level to the opposite state.
Inverter
A diagram, similar to a schematic, showing the connection of logic gates.
Logic Diagram
A piece of test equipment used to view and measure a variety of different waveforms.
Oscilloscope
The amount of time required for one complete cycle of a periodic event or waveform.
Period
