Chapter 4: Gates and Circuits
The following Boolean operations are easy to incorporate into
circuitry and can form the building blocks of many more
sophisticated operations…
The NOT Operation (i.e., what’s the opposite of the operand’s value?)
NOT 1 = 0
NOT 0 = 1
NOT 10101001 = 01010110
NOT 00001111 = 11110000
The AND Operation (i.e., are both operands “true”?)

Transistors
Transistors are relatively inexpensive mechanisms for
implementing the Boolean operators.
In addition to the input connection (the base)
Transistors are connected to both a power source and a
voltage dissipating ground.
Essentially, when the input voltage is high, an electric path is
formed within the transistor that causes the power source to be
drained to ground.
When the input voltage is low, the path is not created, so
the power source is not drained.

Using Transistors to Create Logic Gates
A NOT gate is essentially implemented
by a transistor all by itself.
A NAND gate uses a slightly more complex setup
in which both inputs would have to be high to
force the power source to be grounded.
Use the output of a NAND gate as the input to a
NOT gate to produce an AND gate,
A NOR gate grounds the power source if
either or both of the inputs are high.
Use the output of a NOR gate as the input to a
NOT gate to produce an OR gate..

How to Use Logic Gates for Arithmetic
ANDs and ORs are all well and good, but how can they be used to
produce binary arithmetic?
Let’s start with simple one-bit addition (with a “carry” bit just in
case someone tries to add 1 + 1!).

Notice that the sum bit always yields the same result as the XOR
operation, and the carry bit always yields the same result as the
AND operation!
By combining the right circuitry, then, multiple-bit addition
can be implemented, as well as the other arithmetic
operations.

Memory Circuitry
With voltages constantly on the move, how can a piece of
circuitry be used to retain a piece of information?
In the S-R latch, as long as the S and R
inputs remain at one, the value of the Q
output will never change, i.e., the circuit
serves as memory!
To set the stored value to one, merely set the S input to zero (for
just an instant!) while leaving the R input at one.
To set the stored value to zero, merely set the R input to zero (for
just an instant!) while leaving the S input at one.
Question: What goes wrong if both inputs
are set to zero simultaneously?

Integrated Circuits
How does all of that elaborate circuitry get placed on the tiny
microchips used in modern computers?
A clean silicon wafer is
oxidized to produce a
thin layer of silicon
dioxide, which is then
coated with a
radiation-sensitive
film.
The areas covered
by silicon dioxide
remain positively
charged. The
silicon dioxide is
removed
The wafer is masked
by lithography to
expose it selectively
to ultraviolet light,
which causes the film
layer to become
dissolvable.
The wafer is
oxidized again.
Light-exposed areas
are dissolved,
exposing parts of the
silicon dioxide layer,
which are removed
by an etching
process.
An opening is etched
down to the
positively charged
silicon using a
reverse mask.
The remaining film is removed
in a liquid bath. The areas of
silicon exposed by the etching
process are negatively
charged by exposure to either
arsenic or phosphorus vapor
at high temperatures
Another oxidation cycle
forms a thin layer of
silicon dioxide on the
positively charged
region of the wafer.
Windows are etched
in the negatively
charged silicon areas
in preparation for
metal deposits.
