Introduction
●
In todays world, the term “Digital” has become part of
our everyday vocabulary because of the dramatic way
that the digital circuits and digital techniques have
become so widely used in almost all areas of our life:
● Computers
● Automation
● Robots and so on
●
Generally digital circuits are favorable in speed, ease
of design, Programmability, flexibility and functionality.

Digital and Analog Quantity
● Analog Quantity:
– The quantity that has continuous values is called
as the analog quantity.
– Example of analog quantity are:
● Time, Temperature, Pressure, Distance and Sound.

Digital and Analog Quantity
● Digital Quantity:
– The quantity that has a discrete set of values is
called as the digital quantity.
– Digital system will take information at certain
defined times and display it in the form digits and
symbols on some display.

Advantage of Digital over Analog
●
Digital data can be processed and transmitted
more efficiently and reliably than analog.

●
It can store huge amount of data in lesser
space and with least chance of error.

●
Noise does not affect digital data as compare to
analog signals.

Digital Waveform.

Binary Digit
●
Digital electronics involves circuits and system in which
there are two types possible states.
●
These states are represented by two different voltage
levels: HIGH and LOW.
● In digital systems such as computers; combinations of
two states, called codes, are used to represent
numbers, symbols, alphabetic character and other types
of information.
●
The two-state number system is called binary and its
two digit are called Binary Digit: 0 and 1.

Binary Digit
● Each of the Binary digit, 0 and 1, is called bit.
●
In digital circuits, two different voltage levels are
used to represent the two bits.

● Generally;
– 1 is represented by the higher voltage (HIGH) and
– 0 is represented by the lower voltage (LOW).

Logic Levels
●
The voltage used to represent a 1 and 0 are logic
levels.
●
Ideally, one voltage level represents a HIGH and
another voltage level represents a LOW.
● In a practical digital circuit, however, a HIGH can be any
voltage between a specified minimum value and
specified maximum value. Likewise for a LOW voltage
levels.
●
There can be no overlap between the accepted range of
HIGH levels and the accepted range of LOW levels.

Logic Levels
●
The voltage values
between VH(min) and VL(max)
are unacceptable for
proper operation.
● The voltage values
between VH(max) and
VH(min) are HIGH.
● The voltage values
between VL(max) and
VL(min) are LOW.

Digital Waveform
●
Digital waveforms consists of voltage levels that
are changing back and forth between the HIGH
and LOW levels or states.
● Usually these waveforms are represented as
timing diagrams used to represent wave
behavior relative to time.

Digital Waveform
● Pulse have two edge:
– A leading edge where pulse goes to HIGH from
LOW state and falling edge where pulse revert.
– Sudden transition from one state to other is
impractical. Depending on practical consideration
it will take small amount of time to get from one
state to another.

Digital Waveform

● Important terms.
● Rise Time
● Fall Time
● Amplitude
● Pulse Width

fig.1.3: practical signal representation of a pulse.

Rise Time → time required for pulse to go from LOW level to HIGH.
Fall Time → time required for pulse to go from HIGH level to LOW.
Amplitude → the maximum value of a digital waveform.
Pulse Width → the time gap between the raising edge and falling edge.

Digital Logic Design
● Digital logic design is a system in electrical and
computer engineering that uses simple number value to
produce input and output operations.
●
Digital logics are rooted in binary code.
●
This system facilitates the design of electronics circuits
that convey information, including logic gates with
functions that include AND, OR and NOT commands.
● The value system translates input signals into specific
output. These functions facilitate computing, robotics,
and other electronics applications.
