Digital and Analog
A digital signal is a signal that at any
time can have one of a finite set of
possible values , and is also know as
a discrete signal .

An analog signal can have one


of an infinite number of possible
values , and is also know as a
continuous signal

Switch and Binary Representation

The most commom digital signal are those that can


have one of only two possible values , like on or
off (0 and 1) => switch => a binary representation

Digital Hardware
• Logic circuits are used to build computer
hardware as well as other products
• Late 1960’s and early 1970’s saw a
revolution in digital capability
– Smaller transistors
– Larger chip size
• More transistors/chip gives greater functionality,
but requires more complexity in the design
process

The First ‘BUG’
In 1947, Grace Murray Hopper was working on the Harvard
University Mark II Aiken Relay Calculator (a primitive computer).
On the 9th of September, 1947, when the machine was
experiencing problems, an investigation showed that there
was a moth trapped between the points of Relay #70, in Panel F.

Moore’s Law
• Gordon Moore: co-founder of Intel.
– Predicted that number of transistors per
chip would grow exponentially (double
every 18 months).
– Exponential improvement in technology is
a natural trend: steam engines, dynamos,
automobiles.
• Today, the price of a transistor is less than a grain
of rice

Types of chips
Standard chips
– Contain a small amount of circuitry
(<100 transistors)
– Performs simple functions
– Ex. 7400 series devices
Programmable logic devices (PLD)
– Collection of gates with programmable
interconnections
– Function is configurable by designer/user
– Design with PLD is via a CAD tool
112341 Digital Circuits and Logic Design 2010 (KTS)
Types of chips

Custom-designed chips
– Optimized for a specific task – better
performance
– Larger amount of logic circuitry
– Cost of production is high
– Large volume required to justify cost
