Digital Logic Structures • MOS transistors • logic gates • functional units of a computer
MOS: Metal-oxide Semiconductor • Basic electrical circuit: power supply, switch, lamp • manipulating the switch makes/breaks the circuit
N-type: acts as a closed circuit when given a logically high voltage P-type: acts as a closed circuit when given a logically low voltage 2 Basic Types of Transistors gate gate Circuits with both are called CMOS
Logic Gates • basic logic structures (AND, OR, NOT) are created out of CMOS transistors • inverter: recall the truth table for NOT in out out in
OR and NOR gates • given the circuit, build the truth table • how do we get OR?
AND and NAND gates • Construct NAND first, just as with NOR • NAND and NOR technology very widely used
Notation for Digital Logic Gates • Inverter • AND, NAND • OR, NOR • a single bubble on an input or output denotes an inverter • multiple-input gates
Expressions to Truth Tables NOT ((NOT A) or B) (A or B)
Expressions to Truth Tables NOT ((NOT A) or B) (A or B)
DeMorgan’s Laws • A AND B = A OR B • A OR B = A AND B
Logic Structures • we build logic structures out of logic gates • logic structures are components of the microarchitecture of a computer • 2 kinds of logic structures • some store information • some do not store information
Combinational Logic Structures • output is completely determined by the combination of input values • examples: • decoder • multiplexor (MUX) • full adder
Decoder • outputs one 1 and the rest 0s where the 1 corresponds to a unique input pattern • for n inputs lines, 2n output lines • the output line that has the value 1 is asserted
MUX • selects an input and connects it to the output • for 2n inputs lines, n select lines • MUX is represented by an upside down trapezoid

Logical Completeness • we can build a circuit for any truth table using AND, OR, and NOT • proof by construction: • draw vertical lines for all inputs • for each 1 in the output value, connect 1s in the input directly to an AND gate (invert 0s); repeat for each row • OR all of the AND gates together
Basic Storage Elements • R-S latch: simple structure that stores 1 bit of information • implemented with NAND gates • start with quiescent state (R=S=1) • as long as ‘a’ is 1, it stays 1 (same for 0) 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1
Reset/Set the Latch • put 0 on S while R=1, causes ‘a’ to become 1 • put 0 on R while S=1, causes ‘a’ to become 0 • behavior is undefined if both go to 0 10 1 0 1 0 10 1 1 1 quiescent
The Gated D-latch • uses the R-S latch, plus some additional logic gates • D is the value that is stored, but it is only set/reset when WE (write-enable) is 1 • D’s value causes one of R or S to become 0 0 11 10 01 10 01
Register • every computer offers a number of registers: high speed special memory locations • some registers have special meaning (e.g., PC is the program counter) • note that outputs in the 4-bit register are labeled by Q(n-1:0)
Memory • memory location:collection of bits, has to be uniquely identified • identified by an address • the number of bits we have to represent addresses determines the maximum number of locations that can be accessed in memory 224 = 16,777,216 = 16MB locations
Addressibility • the number of bits we have to represent the data gives the addressibility of the memory. E.g. The size of each memory location. • byte addressibility: convenient since characters are one byte • supercomputers may be 64-bit addressible for 64-bit floating point numbers

Preview of the LC-2 • memory • registers • Data (R0…R7, MDR, …) • Control (PC, MAR, ….) • multiplexers (MUXs) • Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) • Arithmetic operations (add, subtract) • Bitwise logical operations (or, and, ..)
