Number Systems
• Base
• Digit values
• Positional values -- integer powers of
base
• Zero (0) to represent nothing in a
given position
• Value of number = sum of products of
digits and their positional values

Logic Gates

• Electronic circuits which combine digital
signals according to the Boolean algebra are
referred to as logic gates
• Gates because they control the flow of
information.
• Positive logic is an electronic representation
in which the true state (1) is at a higher
voltage, while negative logic has the true
state (0) at a lower voltage.
Logic Circuit Families
• Logic circuits are grouped into families, each with their
own set of detailed operating rules. Some common logic
families are:
– RTL: resistor-transistor logic,
– DTL: diode-transistor logic,
– TTL: transistor-transistor logic,
• TTL is normally used for small-scale integrated circuit units
– NMOS: N-channel metal-oxide silicon,
• MOS features very low power consumption and is used in VLSI
technology
– CMOS: complementary metal-oxide silicon and
– ECL: emitter-coupled logic.

• ECL is very fast The. The TTL is normally used for small-scale
integrated circuit units
Logic Gate Building Blocks
• Symbols and truth tables for the four basic twoinput gates: a) AND, b) NAND, c) OR, d) NOR
and e) the inverter.
– The open circle is used to indicate the NOT or negation
function and can be replaced by an inverter in any
circuit.
– A signal is negated if it passes through the circle.
– Any logic operation can be formed from NAND or
NOR gates or a combination of both. We also
commonly have gates with more than two inputs.
– Inverter gates can be formed by applying the same logic
signal to both inputs of an NOR or NAND gate.
