12. Lab 1 Pre-Lab Materal:Logic Review / Preview Basic logic gates: NOT, OR, AND, XOR M. Frank, EEL3705 Digital Logic, Fall 2006

13. Why Bits (Binary Digits)? • As we’ll learn, computers represent all information using bits. • A bit means a binary (i.e., base 2) digit, 0 or 1. • This is done for several reasons: • Two states (digit values) is all that is really needed. • Any desired information can be represented using sequences of bits. • Encoding information using 2-state systems offers the best noise immunity for a given energy/information ratio. • Computers based on bits tend to be the most energy-efficient. • A bit conveniently can represent the truth value of any given proposition in Boolean logic. • That is, “true” (1) or “false” (0). • Bits can be simply and easily manipulated by simple hardware elements called “logic gates.” • These implementing the basic operators of Boolean logic. M. Frank, EEL3705 Digital Logic, Fall 2006

14. Boolean Logic: Review • For reasoning about whether propositions (statements) are true (T) or false (F). • The truth value of the proposition. • The important functional operators of Boolean logic include: • NOT(x) = {T iff x=F (otherwise F)} • AND(x,y) = {T iff both x=T and y=T} • OR(x,y) = {T iff either x=T or y=T, or both} • XOR(x,y) = {T iff either x=T or y=T, but not both} George Boole1815-1864 iff = “ifand only if”  “exclusive OR” M. Frank, EEL3705 Digital Logic, Fall 2006

15. Boolean Logic Notations • You should be aware that any given expression of Boolean logic could be written in several styles: • Writing operators as functions: • XOR(OR(AND(a,b),NOT(c)),d) • Using operator names “infix” (between their operands): • ((a AND b) OR (NOT c)) XOR d • Using mathematical logic operator symbols: • [(a b)  ¬c]  d • Using C programming language operators: • ((a & b) | ~c) ^ d • Using Boolean algebra notation: Preferred in this course M. Frank, EEL3705 Digital Logic, Fall 2006

16. Logic Gate Icons • Inverter • Logical NOT,Boolean complement • AND gate • Boolean product • OR gate • Boolean sum • XOR gate • exclusive-OR, sum mod 2 x x x·y y x+y x y x x⊕y y M. Frank, EEL3705 Digital Logic, Fall 2006

17. Multi-input AND, OR, XOR • Can extend these gates to arbitrarilymany inputs. • Two commonlyseen drawing styles: • Note that the second style keeps the gate icon relatively small. x1 x1x2x3 x2 x3 x1⋮ x5 x1…x5 M. Frank, EEL3705 Digital Logic, Fall 2006

18. NAND, NOR, XNOR • Just like the earlier icons,but with a small circle onthe gate’s output. • Denotes that the output is complemented. • Circles could also be placed on inputs. • Means, input is complementedbefore being used. x y x y x y M. Frank, EEL3705 Digital Logic, Fall 2006

19. CMOS NAND gate implementation • A NAND gate is particularly easyto implement in CMOS: • Simple 4-transistor circuit  • A NOR gate is equally simple, • but slower, • due to series pFETs • If we wanted to, we could buildany computer using nothingbut NAND gates and wires! Vdd x y xy Vss = GND M. Frank, EEL3705 Digital Logic, Fall 2006

20. Lab 1 Goal: Confirm Function of AND/OR/XOR Gates in Quartus • At the conclusion of lab 1, you should have obtained results that confirm the expected outputs of the AND, OR, and XOR gates for all four possible combinations of two input bits. • Below, A and B are 4-bit signals that (at the specific time point sampled below) give the two input bits in each of the four different possible cases, while W, Y, and Z represent the corresponding outputs of the OR, AND, and XOR functions respectively.
