Quine-McCluskey Tabular Method
In previous chapter, we discussed K-map method, which is a convenient method for minimizing Boolean functions up to 5 variables. But, it is difficult to simplify the Boolean functions having…
Digital Circuits – K-Map Method
In previous chapters, we have simplified the Boolean functions using Boolean postulates and theorems. It is a time consuming process and we have to re-write the simplified expressions after each…
Digital Circuits – Canonical & Standard Forms
We will get four Boolean product terms by combining two variables x and y with logical AND operation. These Boolean product terms are called as min terms or standard product terms. The min…
Digital Circuits – Boolean Algebra
Boolean Algebra is an algebra, which deals with binary numbers & binary variables. Hence, it is also called as Binary Algebra or logical Algebra. A mathematician, named George Boole had developed…
Error Detection & Correction Codes
We know that the bits 0 and 1 corresponding to two different range of analog voltages. So, during transmission of binary data from one system to the other, the noise…
Digital Circuits – Codes
In the coding, when numbers or letters are represented by a specific group of symbols, it is said to be that number or letter is being encoded. The group of…
Digital Circuits – Signed Binary Arithmetic
In this chapter, let us discuss about the basic arithmetic operations, which can be performed on any two signed binary numbers using 2’s complement method. The basic arithmetic operations are addition and…
Digital Circuits – Base Conversions
In previous chapter, we have seen the four prominent number systems. In this chapter, let us convert the numbers from one number system to the other in order to find…
Digital Circuits – Number Systems
If base or radix of a number system is ‘r’, then the numbers present in that number system are ranging from zero to r-1. The total numbers present in that…
Digital Circuits – Introduction
A digital circuit is a circuit where the signal must be one of two discrete levels. Each level is interpreted as one of two different states (for example, on/off, 0/1, true/false). Digital circuits…
