2 CMOSLogic

1) Digital circuits use binary digits (0s and 1s) to represent information, with different voltage levels representing 0 and 1. 2) Combinational logic circuits have outputs that are a function of the current inputs only, and are used to restore valid signal levels. 3) Basic logic gates like AND, OR, and NOT can be implemented using transistor switches, and more complex functions can be built by combining gates. For example, a full adder circuit for adding two binary numbers can be designed using logic gates.

Digital Representation
Example: representing a B&W picture: Black = 0 V White = 1 V 80% grey = 0.8 V ... Represent by scanning picture in xed order. Let's try doing some computation with the voltages...

Digital Representation
Flip image:
Flip back and forth...

What really happens...

Have to build system to tolerate some error (noise).

Logic Levels

Store just one bit on a wire... Gain reliability

0V
"unknown"

3.3V

anything here is logic level 0

anything here is logic level 1

Different conventions are possible


5V
"unknown"

5V

anything here is logic level 1

anything here is logic level 0

Combinational Devices

A combinational device: Output is a function of inputs only ("memoryless") Takes input to valid, stable outputs Combinational devices restore marginally valid signals!
valid input logic 0 0V valid input logic 1 3.3V

valid output logic 0

valid output logic 1

Example

Input: logic 0 if O utput logic 0

Building Functions From Gates

AND:
=

OR:
=

Can specify function by describing gates, truth table, or logic equations.

Logic Equations

AND:

out = a b out = ab out = a b

OR: NOT:

out = a + b out = a b

out = in out = in

Logic Equations
Fun with identities:
a+a=1 a+0=a a+1=1

aa = 0 a0=0 a1=a a(b + c) = ab + ac (a + b) = a b (a b) = a + b a + ab = a + b

Check by writing truth tables, or by manipulating logic equations.

Let's Build An Adder

Write down function: Two 1-bit inputs, a and b Two 1-bit outputs, sum and carry Truth-table: a 0 1 0 1 b carry sum 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 0
