  • LECTURE 4 Logic Design LOGIC DESIGN
    LECTURE 4 Logic Design LOGIC DESIGN The language of the machine is binary – that is, sequences of 1’s and 0’s. But why? • At the hardware level, computers are streams of signals. These signals only have two states of interest, high voltage and low voltage. • Binary is merely a natural abstraction for the underlying signals. • Rather than talking about voltage levels, we talk about logically true signals (having a value 1) and logically false signals (having a value 0). • We might also say that logically true signals are asserted, while logically false signals are de-asserted. LOGIC BLOCKS Logic Blocks are programmable logic components which take some input and produce some output according to a set of logical rules. • Combinational Logic Blocks – depend only on a set of inputs. Any given input will always result in the same output. • Sequential Logic Blocks – maintain an internal state, which may affect the output obtained for a given set of input values. TRUTH TABLES Defining a combinational logic block is as simple as defining the output values for all of the possible sets of input values. Because our input takes only one of two values – 0 or 1 – for � inputs, there are 2# possible input combinations. As long as we can define the output for each of these combinations, our combinational logic block is fully defined. TRUTH TABLES • Consider a logic function with three inputs, A, B, and C, and three outputs, D, E, and F. • D is true if at least one input is true, • E is true if exactly two inputs are true, and • F is true only if all three inputs are true.

  • 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.

    CEG 360/560 – EE 451/651 Lab 1 Dr. Doom Lab 1: Combinational Arithmetic Circuits CEG 360/560 - EE 451/651 PURPOSE The purpose of this introductory laboratory project is to familiarize students with the digital de- sign and simulation software available in the laboratory while reviewing important prerequisite concepts. In this lab, we will design a purely combinational device: a 4-bit arithmetic logic unit (ALU). This device will be used in the datapath of the simple computer we implement in Lab 4. This is a two-week project. PRELAB (WEEK ONE): Combinational Arithmetic Devices (10 pts.) The goal of the first week is to review digital arithmetic and design very simple ALU- like circuit. 1) Review prerequisite course material in the text. Pay particular attention to the material on number systems and binary arithmetic, the implementation of combinational devices to per- form such operations, and the interpretation of standard symbols for combinational logic. 2) Construct a truth-table for a combinational circuit Lab1comp with a one 1-bit enable EN, a 2- bit input A (A[1:0]), a 2-bit input B (B[1:0]), and one 2-bit output Z (Z[1:0]). The inputs A and B represent 2-bit binary numbers. When disabled (EN = 0), Z = x0 (binary 00). When enabled, the value of the output Z depends upon the values of A and B, as shown below: Condition Z (Hex) Z (Binary) A < B x1 01 A > B x2 10 A = B x3 11 3) Design a combinational circuit that realizes the functionality of Lab1comp using a 2-bit 4-to- 1 line multiplexer and a minimal number of logic gates.

  • UNIT 3 COMBINATIONAL LOGIC Introduction to Combinational Circuits
    UNIT 3 COMBINATIONAL LOGIC Introduction to combinational circuits: A combinational circuit is the digital logic circuit in which the output depends on the combination of inputs at that point of time with total disregard to the past state of the inputs. The digital logic gate is the building block of combinational circuits. The function implemented by combinational circuit is depend upon the Boolean expressions. On the other hand, sequential logic circuits, consists of both logic gates and memory elements such as flip-flops. Figure below shows the combinational circuit having n inputs and and m outputs. The n number of inputs shows that there are 2^n possible combinations of bits at the input. Therefore, the output is expressed in terms m Boolean expressions. Analysis Procedure To obtain the output Boolean functions from a logic diagram, proceed as follows: 1. Label all gate outputs that are a function of input variables with arbitrary symbols. Determine the Boolean functions for each gate output. 2. Label the gates that are a function of input variables and previously labeled gates with other arbitrary symbols. Find the Boolean functions for these gates. 3. Repeat the process outlined in step 2 until the outputs of the circuit are obtained. 4. By repeated substitution of previously defined functions, obtain the output Boolean functions in terms of input variables. Example: F2 = AB + AC + BC; T1 = A + B + C; T2 = ABC; T3 = F2’T1; F1 = T3 + T2 F1 = T3 + T2 = F2’T1 + ABC = A’BC’ + A’B’C + AB’C’ + ABC Derive truth table from logic diagram : We can derive the truth table in Table 4-1 by using the circuit of Fig.4-2.
