Computing with digital technology • Physical Layer • Low voltage(0 V) • High voltage(5 V, then 3.3 V, 1.1 V, and now is 0.9 V or lower) • Abstraction (we do not deal with voltage levels) • ‘0’ • ‘1’ • Groups of binary values construct words, numbers, pixels, audio signals, …

Terminology • Physical: • Bit: one binary digit • Abstract: • Nibble: four binary digits • Byte: eight binary digits = two nibbles • Word: Usually 32 binary digits = 4 bytes
Number Representation • Positional notationSame as base-10 but now it’s base 2: • In base 10, we have9807 = 9*103 + 8*102 + 0*101 + 7*100 • In base 2, we have1011 =
Signed numbers • Easy: one bit for sign, then absolute value • E.g. 1011 (- 011) is actually -3 • How do we add two such numbers? • First check the sign bits • If both are 1 or both 0, add the absolute values and retain the same sign bit • If one is 1 and one is 0, compare the two absolute values, then subtract the smaller from the larger and use the sign of the larger number • Lots of circuitry needed for all this! • Also we have to representation for zero: (-0, +0) • We need a better way!
Two’s complement • OK, let’s say we want 4-bit signed numbers but • Want to just add the numbers as if they were unsigned • Want to quickly tell if number is positive or negative • So if we add 1 to -1 we should get 0 • 0 is 0000, 1 is 0001, so -1 has to be 1111 • Now, if we add 1 to -2, we should get -1 • So -2 has to be 1110 • We can still tell if positive or negative • But add, subtract, etc. is much simpler now
Two’s complement What is the range?
Two’s complement • Quickly negate a 2’s number: • 1011 • Invert(all bits) + ‘1’ • Start from right, copy until the first ‘1’, then invert the remaining • Sign extension: • Store 1011 in a byte
Note on Number Representation • Digital logic still operates on binary signals • 2’s complement vs. sign-and-valueis all about how we choose to representnumbers using the underlying binary signals • If four wires have values of 1, 0, 1, 1, then • If sign-and-value, it represents -3 • If 2’s complement, it is -5 • If unsigned number, it is 11 (eleven) • May not even be a number!
Hexadecimal Notation • Writing binary numbers is inconvenient • More than 3 times as many digit as decimal notation • So we also use hexadecimal (base 16) notation • Fewer digits needed than in binary (or even decimal) • Each hex digit represents exactly 4 binary digits,so it is easy to convert back-and-forth • Example: Hexadecimal E04C is in binary: • Note: no actual “hexadecimal” hardware • Hardware still operates in binary • Hexadecimal notation is only for our convenience
Digital Logic • Implemented using MOS transistors Source Drain Gate - - - P-type substrate N-type Channel

Keeping State • We use latches and flip-flops • Here is an SR latch
S R D latch D(ata) OUT E(nable) OUT D (inverted D input) When E is 1 • When D=1, make the S signal be 0 (OUT -> 1) • When D=0, make the R signal be 0 (OUT -> 0) • When E is 0, both S and R are 1 (OUT unchanged)
Flip-Flop? • Essentially two latches in series: • Latch 1 has CLK connected to its “Enable” • Keeps latching changes in input value while clock is 0 • When clock becomes 0, it keeps what it had • Latch 2 has CLK connected to its enable • Keep latching the output of Latch 1 while clock is 1 • Keeps same output value when clock is 0 • While clock is 0, Latch 2 outputs the stored bit • When clock becomes 1, Latch 2 outputs
How the flip-flop works • While clock is 0 • Output of Latch 1 follows the input • But Latch 2 outputs the stored bit • When clock changes from 0 to 1 • Latch 1 stops following the input • Latch 2 now outputs what Latch 1 is outputting • Result: FF output == FF input when clock went 0->1 • When clock changes back to 0 • Latch 1 starts following the input again • But Latch 2 now keeps what it had • Result: FF output unchanged until clock goes 0->1
