What we have learnt
- Real-world applications drive digital circuit design.
- A systematic design approach includes defining, designing, simulating, and building circuits.
- The use of essential components such as flip-flops, gates, FSMs, decoders, memory devices, and microcontrollers is fundamental in digital design.
- Choosing appropriate tools and platforms for design and testing enhances effectiveness in creating digital systems.
- Digital design connects theoretical principles with hands-on engineering applications.
Key Concepts
- -- Truth Table
- A tabular representation that maps all possible input combinations to their corresponding outputs in a digital circuit.
- -- Boolean Algebra
- A mathematical framework for expressing logical operations and simplifications in digital circuits.
- -- Finite State Machine (FSM)
- A computational model used to design algorithms that can be in a finite number of states, transitioning from one state to another based on inputs.
- -- Decoder
- A combinational logic circuit that converts binary information from n input lines to a maximum of 2^n unique output lines.
- -- Multiplexer (MUX)
- A device that selects one of several input signals and forwards the selected input to a single output line, based on a control signal.
- -- FPGA
- A field-programmable gate array allows for the hardware reconfiguration of logic components to meet specific design requirements.
- -- ROM
- Read-Only Memory, used to store logic evaluations or program instructions that cannot be modified during operation.
- -- SensorBased Applications
- Digital systems that utilize data from sensors to perform operations like input processing and triggering outputs.
