Boolean Algebra and Logical Operators
Algebra: variables, values, operations
In Boolean algebra, the values are the symbols 0 and 1
If a logic statement is false, it has value 0
If a logic statement is true, it has value 1
Operations: AND, OR, NOT

Representations of Digital Design: Switches
A switch connects two points under control signal.
Normally Open
when the control signal is 0 (false), the switch is open
when it is 1 (true), the switch is closed
Normally Closed
when control is 1 (true), switch is open
when control is 0 (false), switch is closed

AND car running

Floating nodes:
what happens if the car is not running?
outputs are floating rather than forced to be false
Under all possible control signal settings
(1) all outputs must be connected to some input through a path
(2) no output is connected to more than one input through any path

Representing Digital Design: Boolean Algebra
values: 0, 1
variables: A, B, C, . . ., X, Y, Z
operations: NOT, AND, OR, . . .
NOT X is written as X
X AND Y is written as X & Y, or sometimes X Y
X OR Y is written as X + Y

if input variable is 0, it appears in

circuit hazard: 1 plus 0 is 1, not 0!
Output changes are delayed from input changes
The propagation delay is sensitive to paths in the circuit
Outputs may temporarily change from the correct value to the
wrong value back again to the correct value: this is called
a glitch or hazard

So far Combinatorial (or stateless) logic
°Things don’t get really interesting until we
have memory elements
• Think about a digital watch, or a vending
machine (or a microprocessor!)
• This is called “Sequential Logic”
°Two questions:
• How do we design memory elements?
- How do we create logic that remembers?
• How do we design sequential logic

°Latch vs. Flip Flop
Q
• Flip flop: two latches in a row
• Allows you to read the old value and write a
new value without a race condition

Current state
Next state
State
° State as part of the input
° Next state as part of the output
° State stored in flip flops (registers!)
° Clock controls everything (synchronous logic)
° Lets rethink our 8 segment display example to make it
display a counter
Computer Architecture

Take home points
°Logic built using switches (transistors)
°Boolean algebra and truth tables
°Translation to gates: sum of products
°Multiplexors, demultiplexors, ALU … all
designed this way
°Sequential logic
• Memory elements
• Old state part of inputs, next state part of
outputs
• Counters, registers, control all designed this
way
