– Some application of analog and digital system
– Advantages / disadvantages
– Basic of digital system representation
Introductory concept
Digital electronics represent signals by discrete bands of analog levels, rather than
by a continuous range. All levels within a band represent the same signal state.
Numerical Representations
In science & technology, we are constantly dealing with quantities. There are two ways of
representing the numerical value of quantities:
- Analog
- Digital
Analog Representation Digital Representation
•A quantity is represented by a voltage, •The quantities are represented by symbols
current or meter movement that is called digits.
proportional to the value of that quantity. •Itis discontinuous signal expressed as a burst
•It is continuous wave form that changes of ON and OFF electrical pulse.
smoothly over time.

•Example : An automobile speedometer, in


which the deflection of the needle represents •Digital quantities vary in discrete values.
the value of the automobile speed. •Example : Digital watch, computer system.

Major difference between analog and digital quantities :


analog = Continouos
digital : Discrete (step by
Why Use Digital Circuit ?
• Analog electronic systems have been more popular in the past. In Real world,
information dealing with time, speed, weight, pressure, light intensity, and position
measurements are all analog in nature.
• Figure 1.2a shows the analog system used to interpret float level in water tank.

• If more information is required about the water level, then a digital system such
as the one shown in figure 1.2b might be used.
• It is required when data must be stored, used for calculations, or displayed as
numbers and/or letters.

• Figure 1.3 shows another example that is both analog and digital circuit are used
in a basic principle of a CD player. This system can’t be operating without digital
circuit because all data/music are stored in digital form on the compact disk.

Advantages vs Disadvantages

Digital System
Advantages Disadvantages

• Digital systems are generally easier to design • Real world physical quantities are analog.

•Greater stability • In some cases, more complex circuit need to


be used to do some operation that can be
•Noise immunity in storage and transmission . handled by simpler analog circuit. e.g. :
addition and multiplication operation by using
• Can be processed and transmitted op-amp.
more efficiently and reliably.
• In some cases, the operation speed is lower
• Has a great advantaged when storage than the analog circuit
is necessary. (Ex. MP3s).
• In some cases, big storage is necessary
Binary Digits, Logic Levels, Digital Waveforms
• The basis of all digital data is binary representation.
• Binary - means ‘two’
– 1, 0
– True, False
– Hot, Cold
– On, Off
TTL Input & Output Voltage Levels
Ideal form for binary pulse:
tw = pulse width
T = period of the waveform
f = frequency of the waveform = 1/T

The duty cycle of a binary waveform is defined as:

Practically form for binary pulse:

Major parts of a digital pulse:

• Base line
• Amplitude
• Rise time (tr)
• Pulse width (tw)
• Fall time (tf)
High True Button (Trigger High)
• Different ways to say that a signal is high true
o Is high if signal is TRUE, is low if signal is FALSE.
o Is high if signal is 1, is low if signal is 0.
