    Section 1 (30 marks - Compulsory)

    1. [6 marks] Explain the concept of binary number system and its representation. Perform the
    following operations:
    a) Convert the binary number 1010.1 to decimal.
    b) Add the binary numbers 11001 and 10110.
    c) Subtract the binary number 100101 from 110010.

    2. [6 marks] Describe the working principle of a diode. Discuss the different types of diodes and
    their applications in digital electronics.

    3. [6 marks] Explain the function of a transistor and its use as an amplifier and a switch. Discuss
    the difference between a bipolar junction transistor (BJT) and a field-effect transistor (FET).

    4. [6 marks] Describe the basic logic gates (AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR, XOR) and their
    truth tables. Explain how these gates can be combined to create more complex digital circuits.

    5. [6 marks] Discuss the concept of combinational logic circuits. Explain the working of a half-
    adder and a full-adder circuit, and derive their respective truth tables.

    flops (SR, D, JK, T) and their applications in sequential logic circuits.

    7. [5 marks] Discuss the concept of digital-to-analog (DAC) and analog-to-digital (ADC)


    conversion. Explain the working of a basic DAC and ADC circuit, and their importance in data
    acquisition and signal processing.
    8. [5 marks] Describe the function of a decoder and an encoder in digital electronics. Discuss the
    applications of these circuits in data transmission and storage.

    9. [5 marks] Explain the concept of memory in digital systems. Differentiate between volatile
    (RAM) and non-volatile (ROM, EPROM, EEPROM) memory types, and discuss their
    characteristics and applications.

    Section 3 (20 marks - Optional)

    10. [5 marks] Discuss the importance of timing and synchronization in digital circuits. Explain
    the role of clock signals and the concept of propagation delay in the operation of digital systems.

    applications in data selection and distribution in digital circuits.

    12. [5 marks] Explain the concept of digital-to-digital conversion, such as binary-to-BCD and
    BCD-to-binary conversions. Discuss the importance of these conversions in digital systems.

    13. [5 marks] Discuss the concept of digital signal processing (DSP) and its applications in
    various fields, such as communication, audio, and image processing.

    Section 4 (20 marks - Optional)

    14. [5 marks] Describe the structure and working of a microprocessor. Discuss the role of the
    arithmetic logic unit (ALU), control unit, and memory in the operation of a microprocessor-
    based system.

    15. [5 marks] Explain the concept of programmable logic devices (PLDs), such as PALs, GALs,
    and FPGAs. Discuss their advantages over traditional digital logic circuits and their applications.
    16. [5 marks] Discuss the importance of power supply and grounding in digital electronics.
    Explain the role of voltage regulators and the significance of proper grounding techniques in
    ensuring the reliable operation of digital circuits.

    17. [5 marks] Describe the concept of digital communication protocols, such as serial
    communication (UART, SPI, I2C) and parallel communication (Centronics, IEEE 488). Discuss
    their applications in interconnecting digital devices.
