    Chapter 3: Digital Logic

    Chapter 3 Objectives
    Understand the relationship between Boolean logic and digital computer circuits. Learn how to design simple logic circuits. Understand how digital circuits work together to form complex computer systems.

    Chapter 3: Digital Logic

    3.1 Introduction
    In the latter part of the nineteenth century, George Boole incensed philosophers and mathematicians alike when he suggested that logical thought could be represented through mathematical equations.
    How dare anyone suggest that human thought could be encapsulated and manipulated like an algebraic formula?

    Computers, as we know them today, are implementations of Booles Laws of Thought.


    John Atanasoff and Claude Shannon were among the first to see this connection.

    In the middle of the twentieth century, computers were commonly known as thinking machines and electronic brains.
    Many people were fearful of them.

    Nowadays, we rarely ponder the relationship between electronic digital computers and human logic. Computers are accepted as part of our lives.
    Many people, however, are still fearful of them.

    3.2 Boolean Algebra


    Im assuming that you have taken or are currently taking Discrete Math. So Im not planning on talking about Boolean algebra other than to connect it with circuits. The Slides written by Null & Lobur have been moved to an Appendix at the end of this set.

    Chapter 3: Digital Logic

    3.3 Logic Gates


    Boolean functions are implemented in digital computer circuits called gates. A gate is an electronic device that produces a result based on two or more input values. In reality, gates consist of one to six transistors, but digital designers think of them as a single unit. Integrated circuits contain collections of gates suited to a particular purpose.
    Vs is ground = 0 Volts Vd high voltage for all the things were doing, this is +5V, but there are many possibilities. Vg gate voltage depending on this value, the electrons can or can not flow from high to low voltage.

    Voltage from input

    This is the logic for a NAND gate.

    This is the logic for an AND gate.

    Depending on the values of A, B, output C is connected either to Power or to Ground and so has either a 1 or 0 logical value.
    Chapter 3: Digital Logic

    Its simply a NAND with an inverter.

    3.3 Logic Gates


    The three simplest gates are the AND, OR, and NOT gates.

    operations, as you can see by their truth tables. And these representations map exactly into the transistors on the last two slides.

    Symbols for NAND and NOR, and truth tables are shown at the right.

    74LS02 Quad 2-input NOR

    Chapter 3: Digital Logic

    3.3 Logic Gates


    NAND and NOR are known as universal gates because they are inexpensive to manufacture and any Boolean function can be constructed using only NAND or only NOR gates. Gates can have multiple inputs and more than one output. A second output can be provided for the complement of the operation. Well see more of this later.

    Chapter 3: Digital Logic

    3.4 Digital Components


    Combinations of gates implement Boolean functions. The circuit below implements the function:

    This is an example of a combinational logic circuit. Combinational logic circuits produce a specified output (almost) at the instant when input values are applied.
    Later well explore circuits where this is not the case.
    Chapter 3: Digital Logic

    3.5 Combinational Circuits


    Combinational logic circuits give us many useful devices. One of the simplest is the half adder, which finds the sum of two bits. We can gain some insight as to the construction of a half adder by looking at its truth table, shown at the right. As we see, the sum can be found using the XOR operation and the carry using the AND operation.
    Chapter 3: Digital Logic

    11

    3.5 Combinational Circuits


    We can change our half adder into to a full adder by including gates for processing the carry bit. The truth table for a full adder is shown at the right.

    3.5 Combinational Circuits


    Just as we combined half adders to make a full adder, full adders can connected in series. The carry bit ripples from one adder to the next; hence, this configuration is called a ripple-carry adder.

    This is a 4-bit adder that you can program as part of your Project.

    3.5 Combinational Circuits


    Decoders are another important type of combinational circuit. Among other things, they are useful in selecting a memory location based on a binary value placed on the address lines of a memory bus. Address decoders with n inputs can select any of 2n locations.

    This is what a 2-to-4 decoder looks like on the inside.

    A multiplexer does just the opposite of a decoder. It selects a single output from several inputs. The particular input chosen for output is determined by the value of the multiplexers control lines. To be able to select among n inputs, log2n control lines are needed.

    This is a block diagram for a multiplexer.

    3.6 Sequential Circuits


    Combinational logic circuits are perfect for situations when we require the immediate application of a Boolean function to a set of inputs. There are other times, however, when we need a circuit to change its value with consideration to its current state as well as its inputs. These circuits have to remember their current state. Sequential logic circuits provide this functionality for us. As the name implies, sequential logic circuits require a means by which events can be sequenced. State changes are controlled by clocks. A clock is a special circuit that sends electrical pulses through a circuit. Clocks produce electrical waveforms such as the one shown below.

    Chapter 3: Digital Logic

    22

    3.6 Sequential Circuits


    State changes occur in sequential circuits only when the clock ticks (its synchronous) otherwise the circuit is asynchronous and depends on wobbly input signals.

    Circuits that change state on the rising edge, or falling edge of the clock pulse are called edge-triggered.
    Level-triggered circuits change state when the clock voltage reaches its highest or lowest level.

    Chapter 3: Digital Logic

    23

    To retain their state values, sequential circuits rely on feedback. Feedback occurs when an output is looped back to the input. A simple example of this concept is shown below. Yes, this little circuit shows feedback, but it never changes state: If Q is 0 it will always be 0, if it is 1, it will always be 1. Why?

    3.6 Sequential Circuits

    You can see how feedback works by examining the most basic sequential logic components, the SR flip-flop. The SR stands for set/reset. The internals of an SR flip-flop are shown, along with a block diagram.

    Chapter 3: Digital Logic

    24

    3.6 Sequential Circuits


    The behavior of an SR flip-flop is described by a characteristic table.
    Q(t) means the value of the output at time t. Q(t+1) is the value of Q after the next clock pulse.

    The SR flip-flop actually has three inputs: S, R, and its current output, Q. (the Q is its state/history) We can construct a truth table for this circuit, as shown at the right. Notice the two undefined values. When both S and R are 1, the SR flip-flop is unstable. (meaning both Q and Q are 0 and thats not legal!)

    Try a set of inputs and see what you get on the outputs.

    Chapter 3: Digital Logic

    25

    3.6 Sequential Circuits


    If we can be sure that the inputs to an SR flip-flop will never both be 1, we will never have an unstable circuit. This may not always be the case. So the JK flip-flop solves this problem. Theres no way for both S and R to both be 1, even if J and K are both 1.

    At the right, is an SR flip-flop, modified to create a JK flip-flop. See how Q and Q condition the inputs to prevent S and R from both being 1. The characteristic table indicates that the flip-flop is stable for all inputs.

    Means the value at t + 1 is the inverse of the value at t. Chapter 3: Digital Logic

    3.6 Sequential Circuits


    Another modification of the SR flip-flop is the D flip-flop, shown below with its characteristic table. The output of the flip-flop remains the same during subsequent clock pulses. The output changes only when the value of D changes.

    The previous state doesnt matter. Totally dependent on state of D

    The D flip-flop is the fundamental circuit of computer memory. D flip-flops are usually illustrated using the block diagram shown here.

    3.6 Sequential Circuits


    Sequential circuits are used anytime that we have a stateful application.
    A stateful application is one where the next state of the machine depends on the current state of the machine and the input.

    A stateful application requires both combinational and sequential logic.

    3.6 Sequential Circuits


    A binary counter is another example of a sequential circuit. The low-order bit is complemented at each clock pulse. Whenever it changes from 0 to 1, the next bit is complemented, and so on through the other flip-flops.
    Chapter 3: Digital Logic

    33

    3.7 Designing Circuits


    We have seen digital circuits from two points of view: digital analysis and digital synthesis.
    Digital analysis explores the relationship between a circuits inputs and its outputs. Digital synthesis creates logic diagrams using the values specified in a truth table.

    Digital systems designers must also be mindful of the physical behaviors of circuits to include minute propagation delays that occur between the time when a circuits inputs are energized and when the output is accurate and stable.
    Chapter 3: Digital Logic

    34

    Chapter 3 Conclusion
    Computers are implementations of Boolean logic.

    Boolean functions are completely described by truth tables.


    Logic gates are small circuits that implement Boolean operators. The basic gates are AND, OR, and NOT.
    The XOR gate is very useful in parity checkers and adders.

    The universal gates are NOR, and NAND.


    Chapter 3: Digital Logic

    35

    Chapter 3 Conclusion
    Computer circuits consist of combinational logic circuits and sequential logic circuits. Combinational circuits produce outputs (almost) immediately when their inputs change. Sequential circuits require clocks to control their changes of state. The basic sequential circuit unit is the flip-flop: The behaviors of the SR, JK, and D flip-flops are the most important to know. The behavior of sequential circuits can be expressed using characteristic tables or through various finite state machines. Moore and Mealy machines are two finite state machines that model high-level circuit behavior.

    Appendix - 3.2 Boolean Algebra


    Boolean algebra is a mathematical system for the manipulation of variables that can have one of two values.
    In formal logic, these values are true and false. In digital systems, these values are on and off, 1 and 0, or high and low.

    Boolean expressions are created by performing operations on Boolean variables.


    Common Boolean operators include AND, OR, and NOT.

    Chapter 3: Digital Logic

    37

    3.2 Boolean Algebra


    A Boolean operator can be completely described using a truth table. The truth table for the Boolean operators AND and OR are shown at the right. The AND operator is also known as a Boolean product. The OR operator is the Boolean sum.

    Chapter 3: Digital Logic

    38

    3.2 Boolean Algebra


    The truth table for the Boolean NOT operator is shown at the right. The NOT operation is most often designated by an overbar. It is sometimes indicated by a prime mark ( ) or an elbow ().

    Chapter 3: Digital Logic

    39

    3.2 Boolean Algebra


    A Boolean function has:

    At least one Boolean variable, At least one Boolean operator, and At least one input from the set {0,1}.

    It produces an output that is also a member of the set {0,1}.


    Now you know why the binary numbering system is so handy in digital systems.

    Chapter 3: Digital Logic

    40

    3.2 Boolean Algebra


    The truth table for the Boolean function:

    is shown at the right.

    To make evaluation of the Boolean function easier, the truth table contains extra (shaded) columns to hold evaluations of subparts of the function.
    Chapter 3: Digital Logic

    41

    3.2 Boolean Algebra


    As with common arithmetic, Boolean operations have rules of precedence. The NOT operator has highest priority, followed by AND and then OR. This is how we chose the (shaded) function subparts in our table.
    Chapter 3: Digital Logic

    42

    3.2 Boolean Algebra


    Digital computers contain circuits that implement Boolean functions. The simpler that we can make a Boolean function, the smaller the circuit that will result.
    Simpler circuits are cheaper to build, consume less power, and run faster than complex circuits.

    With this in mind, we always want to reduce our Boolean functions to their simplest form. There are a number of Boolean identities that help us to do this.
    Chapter 3: Digital Logic

    43

    3.2 Boolean Algebra


    Most Boolean identities have an AND (product) form as well as an OR (sum) form. We give our identities using both forms. Our first group is rather intuitive:

    Chapter 3: Digital Logic

    44

    3.2 Boolean Algebra


    Our second group of Boolean identities should be familiar to you from your study of algebra:

    Chapter 3: Digital Logic

    45

    3.2 Boolean Algebra


    Our last group of Boolean identities are perhaps the most useful. If you have studied set theory or formal logic, these laws are also familiar to you.

    Chapter 3: Digital Logic

    46

    3.2 Boolean Algebra


    We can use Boolean identities to simplify the function: as follows:

    Chapter 3: Digital Logic

    47

    3.2 Boolean Algebra


    Sometimes it is more economical to build a circuit using the complement of a function (and complementing its result) than it is to implement the function directly. DeMorgans law provides an easy way of finding the complement of a Boolean function. Recall DeMorgans law states:

    Chapter 3: Digital Logic

    48

    3.2 Boolean Algebra


    DeMorgans law can be extended to any number of variables. Replace each variable by its complement and change all ANDs to ORs and all ORs to ANDs. Thus, we find the the complement of:

    is:

    Chapter 3: Digital Logic

    49

    3.2 Boolean Algebra


    Through our exercises in simplifying Boolean expressions, we see that there are numerous ways of stating the same Boolean expression.
    These synonymous forms are logically equivalent. Logically equivalent expressions have identical truth tables.

    In order to eliminate as much confusion as possible, designers express Boolean functions in standardized or canonical form.
    Chapter 3: Digital Logic

    50

    3.2 Boolean Algebra


    There are two canonical forms for Boolean expressions: sum-of-products and product-of-sums. Recall the Boolean product is the AND operation and the Boolean sum is the OR operation. In the sum-of-products form, ANDed variables are ORed together. For example: In the product-of-sums form, ORed variables are ANDed together: For example:

    Chapter 3: Digital Logic

    51

    3.2 Boolean Algebra


    It is easy to convert a function to sum-of-products form using its truth table. We are interested in the values of the variables that make the function true (=1). Using the truth table, we list the values of the variables that result in a true function value. Each group of variables is then ORed together.
    Chapter 3: Digital Logic

    52

    3.2 Boolean Algebra


    The sum-of-products form for our function is:

    We note that this function is not in simplest terms. Our aim is only to rewrite our function in canonical sum-of-products form.
