Boolean Logic

Boolean logic is the basis for digital electronics and involves binary operators like AND, OR, and NOT. George Boole developed Boolean algebra in the mid-1800s showing that logic and mathematics are equivalent. Digital devices like computers use Boolean logic and binary numbers to perform operations through electronic circuits called gates.

BOOlean Logic

The basis for digital electronics.

What digital electronics do you use?

Computer CD & DVD players IPod Cell phone HDTV Digital cameras

What are digital electronics?


Sound is an analog signal. On a CD, digital sound is encoded as 44.1 kHz, 16 bit audio.
The original wave is 'sliced' 44,100 times a second - and an average amplitude level is applied to each sample. 16 bit means that a total of 65,536 different values can be assigned, or quantized to each sample.

DVD-Audio can be 96 or 192 kHz and up to 24 bits resolution

George Boole

George Boole, a British mathematician (1815-1864).


Logic and math are equivalent.

All math functions can be determined using these 3 primary Boolean logic operators: AND, OR, and NOT.
AND narrows your search, OR broadens your search, and NOT is used to exclude concepts.

Have you used Boolean logic?

What information have you searched for on the Web? Do a Google Search for car radios.

The AND operator (both, all)

rivers AND salinity

dairy products AND export AND Europe

The OR operator (either, any)

fruit OR vegetables

fruit OR vegetables OR cereal

The NOT operator

fruit NOT apples

Lets use Boolean logic to examine class.

Please stand up if you are:


girl AND black hair AND left handed

Please stand up if you are:


girl OR black hair OR left handed

And NOT How has the group changed depending on the logical operator used.

What would a library search give for stress and anxiety?


Shaded areas indicate retrieval

Search Statement

Types of records retrieved

Number of records retrieved

stress OR anxiety

Documents that discuss either stress or anxiety

1127

stress AND anxiety

Documents that discuss both stress and anxiety

51

stress NOT anxiety

Documents that discuss stress but not anxiety

Nesting

When more than one element is in parentheses, the sequence is left to right. This is called "nesting."
(foxes OR rabbits) AND pest control foxes OR rabbits AND pest control (animal pests OR pest animals) NOT rabbits

Parentheses should be used to group terms joined by OR when there is any other operator in the search.

Order of precedence of Boolean operators

The order of operations is: AND, NOT, OR, XOR Parentheses are used to override priority. Expressions in parentheses are processed first. Parentheses are used to organize the sequence and groups of concepts.

Write out logic statements using Boolean operators for these.

You have a buzzer in your car that sounds when your keys are in the ignition and the door is open. You have a fire alarm installed in your house. This alarm will sound if it senses heat or smoke. There is an election coming up. People are allowed to vote if they are a citizen and they are 18. To complete an assignment the students must do a presentation or write an essay.

Basis for digital computers.

The true-false nature of Boolean logic makes it compatible with binary logic used in digital computers. Electronic circuits can produce Boolean logic operations. Circuits are called gates.
NOT AND OR

NOT gate

The simplest possible gate is called an "inverter," or a NOT gate. One bit as input produces its opposite as output. The symbol for a NOT gate in circuit diagrams is shown below. The logic table for the NOT gate shows input and output.

A 0 1

Q 1 0

From How Stuff Works

AND gate

The AND gate has the following symbol and logic table. Two or more input bits produce one output bit. Both inputs must be true (1) for the output to be true. Otherwise the output is false (0).

A
0 0 1 1

B
0 1 0 1

Q
0 0 0 1

OR gate

The OR gate has the following symbol and logic table. Two or more input bits produce one output bit. Either inputs must be true (1) for the output to be true.

0 1 1

0
1 0 1

Combine gates.

Gates can be combined. The output of one gate can become the input of another. Try to determine the logic table for this circuit.

All computations can be done with an NAND gate.

The most sophisticated computer can be made with NAND gates from Radio Shack. Need millions of them.

How do we use gates to add two binary numbers?

Binary numbers are either 1 or 0, either on or off.

Have two outputs. Need a gate to produce each output.

CO 0 0 0 1

How do I add larger numbers?

You can write any number in binary.

Add binary numbers.

Adding larger number just adds more columns.

Gang circuits in sequence.

To construct a full adder circuit, we'll need to gang these simple circuits together. The carry value will become an input for the subsequent Now have three inputs and two outputs. Since we'll have both an input carry and an output carry, we'll designate them as CIN and COUT.

Now we can add two binary bits together


accounting for a possible carry from the next lower order of magnitude. sending a carry to the next higher order of magnitude.

Add multiple bits.

A full adder must be allocated for each bit to be added simultaneously. To add two 4-bit numbers to produce a 4-bit sum (with a possible carry), you would need four full adders with carry lines cascaded.

By extension, two binary numbers of any size may be added in this manner. http://www.play-hookey.com/digital/adder.html
