Introduction to digital electronics
What is Digital Electronics
• Digital Electronics is the branch of electronics which deals with the digital
signals to perform various tasks and meet various requirements
• It is based upon the digital design methodologies and consists of digital
circuits, IC’s and logic gates
• It uses only binary digits, i.e. either ‘0’ or ‘1’

Introduction to digital electronics
Need of Digital Electronics
• Most analog systems were less accurate, and were slow in computation and
performance
• Digital system have the ability to work faster than analog equivalents, and
can operate on very high frequencies too
• It was much economical than analog methodologies as the performance
was faster

Digital Quantities
Digital systems can process, store, and transmit data more efficiently but can
only assign discrete values to each point

Analog Example
A public address system, used to amplify sound so that it can be heard by large
audience, is one example of an application of analog electronics.

Analog Vs. Digital
• Analog systems process time-varying signals that can take on any value
across a continuous range of voltages (in electrical/electronics systems)
• Digital systems process time-varying signals that can take on only one of
two discrete values of voltages (in electrical/electronics systems).
– Discrete values are called 1 and 0 (ON and OFF, HIGH and LOW, TRUE
and FALSE, etc.)

Digital Revolution
Digital systems started back in 1940s.
Digital systems cover all areas of life:
• Still pictures
• Digital video
• Digital audio
• Telephone
• Traffic lights
• Animation
