DIGELEC1 Flashcards
branch of electronics that deals with digital format of data and codes.
digital electronics
digital stand for
digit
digital electronics basically has two conditions which are possible
0 (Low Logic)
1 (High Logic)
“1” as true and “0”as false are called
bit
Group of bits are called
byte
Digital electronic circuits are usually made from large assemblies of
logic gates
used to convert the digital information in your computer to analog signals for your device and convert analog signals to digital information for your computer.
modem
This year the use of electronic diodes, and while these where better but they were unreliable.
1940
In this year the prototypes of the computer were constructed from mechanical switches (vacuum tubes) and relays. These were comparatively slow, large, produced a great deal of heat
1930
The next stage was the result of the development in ____ of the transistor which was much smaller, faster and cooler. Simple transisors were replaced by intergrated circuits and that got smaller and smaller and finally depos silicon to be put into a chip.
1947
What type of wave does an analog have
continuous
What type of wave does a digital have
discrete
Can be process, store and transmit data more efficiently but can only assign separate values to each point
digital systems
Most Natural quantities (such as temperature, pressure, light intensity,…) are
Analog quantities
The branch of mathematics involving digital logic is named
boolean algebra
The building blocks used to create digital circuits are
logic gates
