Such a serious institute name... Don't get scared ahead of time. Let's go in order.

In electronics, the term "black box" is often used. This, of course, is not the black box that the Ministry of Emergency Situations is looking for after another crash of Aeroflot's Tu-154. Another box...

In electronics, a "black box" is a kind of circuit that is lazy to draw. This circuit has some inputs, some outputs, and we know exactly how it behaves. That is, you can easily predict what will happen at the output if you apply something to the input. Roughly speaking, the black box circuit is described by a mathematical expression of the form:

y = f(x),

where

x - input signal

y - output signal.

Synthesis of digital circuits

Black boxes have just a lot of life examples ... Take at least such a trivial thing as an iron. It has a temperature adjustment knob and a steam release button - these are the "inputs" of the black box. Also, it has a heating surface, and in it - holes - these are "exits".

How are inputs and outputs related?

  1. Surface temperature is proportional to the angle of rotation of the handle
  2. Steam comes out of the holes when the button is pressed.

This example may be rather primitive, but it is obscenely obvious. After all, in the morning, ironing trousers, you don’t think about how the iron works? But you know perfectly well what needs to be done with a pen and a button in order to get the desired result ...

Why am I all this? And to the fact that in technology one often has to resort to the concept of a "black box" in order to simplify development at a certain stage. However, at subsequent stages, you still have to "unfold" the black box - that is, design its circuit.

And since you and I bear the proud name of Electronics Engineers, and not just shareholders-tinkers, but also designers-developers, it is our direct duty to be able to come up with its scheme from the description of the black box.

Of course, we will not make irons. Especially - in the section on digital technology. We'd better deal with the synthesis of digital circuits according to the truth table.

Task number one

There is a certain element with two inputs and one output, and its truth table is known:

Synthesis of digital circuits. Picture for task number one

It is necessary to come up with a diagram of this element based on known logical elements.

We carefully look and think ...

We are interested in those positions of the truth table in which the output signal is 1.

BUT! Here's what we see: a unit at the input b in any case leads to a unit at the output. Great!

Synthesis of digital circuits. Truth table again

So we can connect the input b directly with the output c ... More precisely, they could. But we have one more unit at the output - when zeros are applied to both inputs. Remember which element reacts to two zeros? Let me look at the previous paragraph...

That's right, the "OR-NOT" element! This means that the second unit will be formed by the OR-NOT element. Let's draw our own scheme for each case:

Synthesis of digital circuits. Two schemes

Now we need to combine these schemes into one. Please note that you cannot directly connect digital outputs. So you need to connect them through some element. Moreover, this element should give a unit to the output if at least one input has a unit. Well, what is this element?

Of course, it is "OR".

So:

Synthesis of digital circuits. Ready scheme for task number one

That's the whole scheme. Pretty simple, right?

Further worse.

Task number is as follows

The element to which you want to draw a diagram has three inputs and one output.

Accordingly, the truth table increases automatically to 8 lines:

Synthesis of digital circuits. Picture for the next task

So what do you think???

Hmm, this is a little more complicated. But! It's not hard for us, is it? Then - forward and with songs!

So, we select those lines in which the output signal = 1. There are only five of them:

Synthesis of digital circuits. Highlight lines

Now let's draw a separate diagram for each selected line, using only the "AND" and "NOT" elements.

Synthesis of digital circuits. five schemes

All! Now it only remains to combine these schemes into one. This will immediately reduce the number of inverters:

Synthesis of digital circuits. The final scheme for task number is as follows

Well, okay?

I explain: we made two groups of inputs - direct and inverse (that is, "reverse"), and connected the "AND" elements to these groups according to the schemes that we developed before.

The output signals of the "AND" elements are mixed using a 5-input "OR" element.

Cascading "AND" and "OR" elements

As you can see, in the last circuit we used "AND" elements with three inputs and an "OR" element with as many as five inputs! Someone will probably have a question: what are their truth tables?

It's all right, gentlemen! The "AND" element remains the "AND" element, even with 100 inputs. At its output, a unit is possible only if units are applied to all inputs.

The same is true for the OR element. It will give a one if at least one input has a one, even if it has at least a thousand inputs.

Such multi-input elements can be easily obtained from ordinary two-input elements by including them in a cascade circuit:

Synthesis of digital circuits. Logic cascading

If you don't believe me - make a truth table for each "step" of the cascade - and check :)

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 ... >>

Good article. It clearly explains what and how it works. The only pity is that it is short, it would be possible to cover the topic more widely for us dummies.
