Short Notes for Quick Revision

1. Number System

A number system is a method of representing numbers using digits or symbols. Common number systems are decimal, binary, octal and hexadecimal.

2. Decimal Number System

Decimal number system has base 10 and uses digits from 0 to 9.

3. Binary Number System

Binary number system has base 2 and uses only two digits: 0 and 1. It is used in computers and digital circuits.

4. De Morgan’s Theorem

De Morgan’s theorem is used to simplify Boolean expressions. First theorem: (A+B)' = A'B'. Second theorem: (AB)' = A' + B'.

5. Logic Gates

Logic gates are electronic circuits that perform logical operations. Common gates are AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR and XOR.

6. AND Gate

AND gate gives output HIGH only when all inputs are HIGH.

7. OR Gate

OR gate gives output HIGH when any one input is HIGH.

8. NOT Gate

NOT gate produces complement of input.

9. Half Adder

Half adder is a combinational circuit used to add two binary digits. Sum = A XOR B and Carry = AB.

10. Full Adder

Full adder adds three binary digits including carry input. Sum = A XOR B XOR C and Carry = AB + BC + CA.

11. R-S Flip Flop

R-S flip flop is a basic memory element used to store one bit of information.

12. J-K Flip Flop

J-K flip flop is an improved version of R-S flip flop. It removes invalid state and provides toggle operation.

13. Semiconductor

Semiconductors are materials whose conductivity lies between conductors and insulators. Examples are silicon and germanium.

14. Diode

A diode is a semiconductor device that allows current to flow in one direction only. It is used in rectifiers and voltage regulators.

15. BJT

Bipolar Junction Transistor is a three-terminal semiconductor device used for amplification and switching. Its terminals are emitter, base and collector.

16. Transistor Configurations

There are three transistor configurations: Common Base, Common Emitter and Common Collector.

Sample Numericals

Decimal to Binary Conversion

Question: Convert decimal number 10 into binary.

Solution: 10 ÷ 2 = 5 remainder 0, 5 ÷ 2 = 2 remainder 1, 2 ÷ 2 = 1 remainder 0, 1 ÷ 2 = 0 remainder 1.

Reading remainders from bottom to top gives 1010.

Final Answer: (10)₁₀ = (1010)₂

Half Adder Example

Question: For A = 1 and B = 1, find Sum and Carry.

Formula: Sum = A XOR B, Carry = AB

Solution: Sum = 1 XOR 1 = 0, Carry = 1 × 1 = 1

Final Answer: Sum = 0, Carry = 1
