Absolutely all digital microcircuits consist of the same logical elements - the "bricks" of any digital node. That's what we'll talk about now.

Logic element This is a circuit that has multiple inputs and one output. Each state of the signals at the inputs corresponds to a certain signal at the output.

So what are the elements?

Element "AND" (AND)

Otherwise, it is called "conjunctor".

In order to understand how it works, you need to draw a table that lists the output states for any combination of input signals. Such a table is calledtruth table". Truth tables are widely used in digital technology to describe the operation of logic circuits.

This is how the "AND" element and its truth table look like:

Logical elements and truth tables. Element AND

Since you will have to communicate with both Russian and bourgeois tech. documentation, I will give conditional graphic symbols (UGO) of elements both according to our and not our standards.

We look at the truth table, and clarify the principle in the brain. It is not difficult to understand it: a unit at the output of the "AND" element occurs only when units are applied to both inputs. This explains the name of the element: units must be AND on one AND on the other input.

If you look a little differently, then you can say this: the output of the "AND" element will be zero if at least one of its inputs is zero. We remember. Go ahead.

OR element (OR)

In other words, his name is "disjunctor".

We admire:

Logical elements and truth tables. OR element

Again, the name speaks for itself.

A unit appears at the output when a unit is applied to one OR to another OR to both inputs at once. This element can also be called the "AND" element for negative logic: its output is zero only if zeros are applied to one and the second input.

Let's go further. Next we have a very simple, but very necessary element.

Element "NOT" (NOT)

More often, it is called "inverter".

Logical elements and truth tables. Element NOT

Need to say something about his work?

Well then let's move on. The next two elements are obtained by setting the inverter to the output of the "AND" and "OR" elements.

NAND element (NAND)

Logical elements and truth tables. NAND element

The NAND element works exactly the same as the AND, only the output signal is completely opposite. Where the "AND" element should have "0" at the output, the "AND-NOT" element should have one. And vice versa. This is easy to understand by the equivalent circuit of the element:

Logical elements and truth tables. Equivalent circuit of the AND-NOT element

OR-NOT (NOR) element

Logical elements and truth tables. NOR element

The same story - the "OR" element with an inverter at the output.

The next comrade is somewhat more cunning:

Exclusive OR (XOR) element

He is like this:

Logical elements and truth tables. XOR element

The operation it performs is often referred to as "modulo 2 addition". In fact, digital adders are built on these elements.

Let's look at the truth table. When is the output of the unit? That's right: when the inputs are different signals. On one - 1, on the other - 0. That's how cunning he is.

The equivalent circuit is something like this:

Logical elements and truth tables. Equivalent circuit of XOR element

It is not necessary to memorize it.

Actually, these are the main logical elements. Absolutely any digital microcircuits are built on their basis. Even your favorite Pentium 4.

Next, we'll tinker about how to synthesize a digital circuit given its truth table. This is not difficult at all, but you need to know, because it will come in handy (even how useful) to us in the future.

And finally - a few microcircuits, which contain digital elements. Near the pins of the elements, the numbers of the corresponding legs of the microcircuit are indicated. All ICs listed here have 14 legs. Power is supplied to pins 7 (-) and 14 (+). Supply voltage - see the table in the previous paragraph.

Traffic noise delays the growth of chicks 06.05.2024

The sounds that surround us in modern cities are becoming increasingly piercing. However, few people think about how this noise affects the animal world, especially such delicate creatures as chicks that have not yet hatched from their eggs. Recent research is shedding light on this issue, indicating serious consequences for their development and survival. Scientists have found that exposure of zebra diamondback chicks to traffic noise can cause serious disruption to their development. Experiments have shown that noise pollution can significantly delay their hatching, and those chicks that do emerge face a number of health-promoting problems. The researchers also found that the negative effects of noise pollution extend into the adult birds. Reduced chances of reproduction and decreased fertility indicate the long-term effects that traffic noise has on wildlife. The study results highlight the need ... >>

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

4K monitor adapter via USB 15.06.2014

DisplayLink and IO Data announced the development of the world's first 4K USB graphics card. The device uses the DisplayLink DL-5500 chipset.

Using this device, you can connect an Ultra HD monitor to a computer equipped with a USB 3.0 port and display an image on it with a resolution of up to 3840 x 2160 pixels. The monitor must be equipped with a DisplayPort video input.

A prototype of the adapter, so far only descriptively named 4K USB Graphics Adapter but planned for release by IO Data, was shown at Computex 2014 in Taipei.
