Chapter 2 Introduction to Digital Concepts
Analog Representation • Voltage, current, movement
Digital Representation • Digital watch
Advantages of Digital Techniques • Easer to design. (processing limited values). • Information storage is easy. • More accuracy. • Operation can be programmed. • Less affected by noise.
Limitations of Digital Techniques • The real world is mainly analog • need to be converted to digital (ADC) • Process the digtal form • Convert the digital output to analog (DAC).
Pulse Types • Periodic Pulse • repeat itself at fixed intervals. • A frequency is the rate at which the waveform repeats
Pulse Types • Non periodic pulse • Does not repeat itself at fixed intervals.
Timing Diagram • Showing the relationship of all waveforms
Data Transfer • Serial Form
Data Transfer • Parallel form
