Chapter 1 The Logic of Compound Statements
Section 1.4 Digital Logic Circuits
Digital Circuits • Electrical circuits can be fashioned to mimic logic tables. • Types of switches: • open • closed • Types of circuits: • series • parallel
Switching Table • Switches in series • closed/on => T • open/off => F
Switching Table • Switches in parallel • closed/on => T • open/off => F
Combinational Circuits • Combinational circuits are composed of one or more basic gates where the output of the circuit is based on the input at that instant in time. • Rules of Combinational Circuits • Never combine two input wires. • A single input wire can be split and used as input for two separate gates. • An output wire can be used as input. • No output of a gate can feedback into that gate. • Sequential circuits are circuits that include feedback. Their output depends on previous input. These circuits are used to build circuits that can remember (memory circuits).
Input-Output Table • Input-output table is a truth table for a combinational circuit. It shows the output of the circuit given a set of inputs.
Example P v Q (P v Q) ^ ~(P ^ Q) ~(P ^ Q) P ^ Q
Boolean • A combinational circuit can be expressed as a Boolean expression. • George Boolean was an English mathematician who founded symbolic logic. • Boolean variable is a variable that has only two possible values (T/F, on/off, 1/0). • Boolean expression is composed of Boolean variables and connectives (~, v, ^ )
Boolean Expression Circuits • A Boolean expression can be converted to a combinational digital logic circuit by using the Boolean variables as inputs and matching the connectives (~, v, ^) with their gate equivalent (NOT, OR, AND). • Example • (~P ^ Q) v ~Q
Circuit from I/O Table • A circuit can be constructed from any I/O table. • A circuit constructed in this form will be composed of a set of AND gates connected by OR gates. R^S v ~R^S v R^~S
Example 1^1^1 v 1^0^1 v 1^0^0 P^Q^Rv P^~Q^Rv P^~Q^~R
Equivalent Circuits • Two circuits are equivalent if there I/O tables are equivalent. • As with logic expressions, digital circuits may be simplified through logic theorem 1.1.1, aka Boolean Algebra.
Example • ((P ^ ~Q) V (P ^ Q)) ^ Q • (P ^ (~Q V Q)) ^ Q (distributive) • (P ^ (Q v ~Q)) ^ Q (commutative) • (P ^ t) ^ Q (negation) • P ^ Q (identity) • Inspection of the I/O table reveals the simplified circuit.
NAND and NOR Gates • NAND or NOR gates can be used to simplify a circuit as they are primitive gates, i.e. all gates can be built from them. (NOT, AND, OR, XOR, etc.)
NAND and NOR • NAND • logic symbol is (Sheffer Stroke) | • P|Q ~(P ^ Q) • NOR • logic symbol is (Peirce Arrow) • PQ ~(P v Q)
NAND (Sheffer Stroke) Example • Show that the Sheffer Stroke (NAND) can be used to implement ~ (NOT) • ~P P | P • ~P ~(P ^ P) (idempotent) • P | P (definition of |)
