  • 1 DIGITAL COUNTER and APPLICATIONS a Digital Counter Is
    Dr. Ehab Abdul- Razzaq AL-Hialy Electronics III DIGITAL COUNTER AND APPLICATIONS A digital counter is a device that generates binary numbers in a specified count sequence. The counter progresses through the specified sequence of numbers when triggered by an incoming clock waveform, and it advances from one number to the next only on a clock pulse. The counter cycles through the same sequence of numbers continuously so long as there is an incoming clock pulse. The binary number sequence generated by the digital counter can be used in logic systems to count up or down, to generate truth table input variable sequences for logic circuits, to cycle through addresses of memories in microprocessor applications, to generate waveforms of specific patterns and frequencies, and to activate other logic circuits in a complex process. Two common types of counters are decade counters and binary counters. A decade counter counts a sequence of ten numbers, ranging from 0 to 9. The counter generates four output bits whose logic levels correspond to the number in the count sequence. Figure (1) shows the output waveforms of a decade counter. Figure (1): Decade Counter Output Waveforms. A binary counter counts a sequence of binary numbers. A binary counter with four output bits counts 24 or 16 numbers in its sequence, ranging from 0 to 15. Figure (2) shows-the output waveforms of a 4-bit binary counter. 1 Dr. Ehab Abdul- Razzaq AL-Hialy Electronics III Figure (2): Binary Counter Output Waveforms. EXAMPLE (1): Decade Counter. Problem: Determine the 4-bit decade counter output that corresponds to the waveforms shown in Figure (1).

I (Jul.-Aug. 2019), PP 57-64 www.iosrjournals.org Design and Implementation of High speed counters using “MUX based Full Adder (MFA)” K.V.Jyothi1, G.P.S. Prashanti2, 1Student, 2Assistant Professor 1,2,(Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, Gayatri Vidya Parishad College of Engineering For Women,Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India) Corresponding Author: K.V.Jyothi Abstract: In this brief, a new binary counter design is proposed. Counters are used to determine how many number of inputs are active (in the logic ONE state) for multi input circuits. In the existing systems 6:3 and 7:3 Counters are designed with full and half adders, parallel counters, stacking circuits. It uses 3-bit stacking and 6-bit stacking circuits which group all the “1” bits together and then stacks are converted into binary counts. This leads to increase in delay and area. To overcome this problem “MUX based Full adder (MFA)” 6:3 and 7:3 counters are proposed. The backend counter simulations are achieved by using MENTOR GRAPHICS in 130nm technology and frontend simulations are done by using XILINX. This MFA counter is faster than existing stacking counters and also consumesless area. Additionally, using this counters in Wallace tree multiplier architectures reduces latency for 64 and 128-bit multipliers.

  • Central Processing Unit and Microprocessor Video
    Components Main articles: Central processing unit and Microprocessor Video demonstrating the standard components of a "slimline" computer A general purpose computer has four main components: the arithmetic logic unit (ALU), the control unit, the memory, and the input and output devices (collectively termed I/O). These parts are interconnected by buses, often made of groups of wires. Inside each of these parts are thousands to trillions of small electrical circuits which can be turned off or on by means of an electronic switch. Each circuit represents a bit (binary digit) of information so that when the circuit is on it represents a “1”, and when off it represents a “0” (in positive logic representation). The circuits are arranged in logic gates so that one or more of the circuits may control the state of one or more of the other circuits. The control unit, ALU, registers, and basic I/O (and often other hardware closely linked with these) are collectively known as a central processing unit (CPU). Early CPUs were composed of many separate components but since the mid-1970s CPUs have typically been constructed on a single integrated circuit called a microprocessor. Control unit Main articles: CPU design and Control unit Diagram showing how a particularMIPS architecture instruction would be decoded by the control system The control unit (often called a control system or central controller) manages the computer's various components; it reads and interprets (decodes) the program instructions, transforming them into a series of control signals which activate other parts of the computer.[50]Control systems in advanced computers may change the order of some instructions so as to improve performance.

  • Tutorial on Adder and Subtractor Logic Circuits Digital Adder: 1. Half Adder 2. Full Adder. Half Adder- Full Adder
    Tutorial on Adder and Subtractor Logic Circuits Digital Adder: In digital electronics an adder is a logic circuit that implements addition of numbers. In many computers and other types of processors, adders are used to calculate addresses, similar operations and table indices in the arithmetic logic unit (ALU) and also in other parts of the processors. These can be built for many numerical representations like binary coded decimal or excess-3. Adders are classified into two types: 1. Half adder 2. Full adder. Half Adder- The half adder circuit is required to add two input digits (for Ex. A and B) and generate a carry and sum. The half adder adds two binary digits called as augend and addend and produces two outputs as sum and carry (XOR is applied to both inputs to produce sum and AND gate is applied to both inputs to produce carry). It means half adder circuits can add only two digits in other words if we need to add more than 2 digits it will not work, so, it the limitation of an half adder electronic circuits. To resolve this problem a full adder circuit is required. Application- The ALU of a computer uses half adder to compute the binary addition operation on two bits. Half adder is used to make full adder as a full adder requires 3 inputs, the third input being an input carry i.e. we will be able to cascade the carry bit from one adder to the other. Ripple carry adder is possible to create a logical circuit using multiple full adders to add N- bit numbers.
