BASIC CONCEPTS
Digital Electronics
• Digital electronic circuits, are electronics that represent signals by
discrete bands of analog levels, rather than by continuous ranges (as
used in analogue electronics).

• In most cases the number of states is two.

• They are represented by two voltage bands: one near a reference
value (typically termed as "ground" or zero volts), and the other a
value near the supply voltage.
• These correspond to the "false" ("0") and "true" ("1") values of the
Boolean domain, respectively, yielding binary code.

Advantages:
• Digital techniques are useful because it is easier to get an electronic
device to switch into one of a number of known states than to
accurately reproduce a continuous range of values.
• Signals represented digitally can be transmitted without degradation
due to noise.
• Computer-controlled digital systems can be controlled by software,
allowing new functions to be added without changing hardware.

Disadvantage:
• In some cases, digital circuits use more energy than analog circuits to
accomplish the same tasks, thus producing more heat which
increases the complexity of the circuits such as the inclusion of heat 5
sinks.
Digital Electronics…
• A digital circuit is often constructed from small electronic
circuits called logic gates that can be used to create
combinational logic.
• Each logic gate represents a function of boolean logic.
• A logic gate is an arrangement of electrically controlled
switches, better known as transistors.
• Logic gates often use the fewest number of transistors in
order to reduce their size, power consumption and cost, and
increase their reliability.
• Integrated circuits are the least expensive way to make logic
gates in large volumes. Integrated circuits are usually designed
by engineers using electronic design automation software 6
Classification of Integrated Circuits
• Small Scale Integration or (SSI) – Contain up to 10 transistors or a few
gates within a single package such as AND, OR, NOT gates.
• Medium Scale Integration or (MSI) – between 10 and 100 transistors or
tens of gates within a single package and perform digital operations
such as adders, decoders, counters, flip-flops and multiplexers.
• Large Scale Integration or (LSI) – between 100 and 1,000 transistors or
hundreds of gates and perform specific digital operations such as I/O
chips, memory, arithmetic and logic units.
• Very-Large Scale Integration or (VLSI) – between 1,000 and 10,000
transistors or thousands of gates and perform computational operations
such as processors, large memory arrays and programmable logic
devices.
• Super-Large Scale Integration or (SLSI) – between 10,000 and 100,000
transistors within a single package and perform computational
operations such as microprocessor chips, micro-controllers, basic PICs
and calculators.
• Ultra-Large Scale Integration or (ULSI) – more than 1 million transistors – 7
the big boys that are used in computers CPUs, GPUs, video processors,
micro-controllers, FPGAs and complex PICs.

• Types of Basic Logic Blocks

- Combinational Logic Block
Logic Blocks whose output logic value depends only on the input logic values
- Sequential Logic Block
Logic Blocks whose output logic value depends on the input values and the
state (stored information) of the blocks
