DIGITAL ELECTRONICS What is meant by Digital Systems? An electronic system consisting of digital circuits/or devices.

A digital system is a data technology that uses discrete (discontinuous) values. The analog (non-digital) systems use a continuous range of values to represent information. Although digital representations are discrete, they can be used to carry either discrete information, such as numbers, letters or other individual symbols, or approximations of continuous information, such as sounds, images, and other measurements of continuous systems. Define Gray Code? A code in which only one bit changes between successive numbers. This code is used extensively for shaft encoders because of this property. t is not a weighted code. The gray code is a reflected code. List the hara teristi s of digital I s! propagation delay power dissipation !an-in !an-out "oise margin What is "ro"agation delay? What is Noise margin? What is "o#er dissi"ation? t is the average transition delay time for the signal to propagate from input to output when the signals change in value. t is the limit of a noise voltage, which may be present without impairing the proper operation of the circuit. t is the power consumed by the gate, which must be available from the power supply What is meant by "arity bit? Parity bit is an extra bit included with a binary message to make the number of 1s either odd or even. The message, including the parity bit is transmitted and then chec#ed at the receiving and for errors. What is IC? An integrated circuit is a small silicon semiconductor crystal called a chip containing electrical components such as transistors, diodes, resistors and capacitors. The various components are interconnected inside the chip to form an electronic circuit. What are the needs for binary odes? i.$ode is used to represent letters, numbers and punctuation mar#s. ii.$oding is re%uired for maximum efficiency in single transmission. iii.&inary codes are the ma'or components in the synthesis (artificial generation) of speech and video signals. iv.&y using error detecting codes, errors generated in signal transmission can be detected. v.$odes are used for data compression by which large amounts of data are transmitted in very short duration of time. $ention the different ty"e of binary odes? The various types of binary codes are, &$( code (&inary $oded decimal). )elf-complementing code. The excess-* (+s-*) code. ,ray code. &inary weighted code. Alphanumeric code. The A)$ code. -xtended binary-coded decimal interchange code (-&$( $). -rror-detecting and error-correcting code. .amming code.

List the ad%antages and disad%antages of &CD ode? The advantages of &$( code are Any large decimal number can be easily converted into corresponding binary number A person needs to remember only the binary e%uivalents of decimal number from / to 0. $onversion from &$( into decimal is also very easy. The disadvantages of &$( code are The code is least efficient. t re%uires several symbols to represent even small numbers. &inary addition and subtraction can lead to wrong answer. )pecial codes are re%uired for arithmetic operations. This is not a self-complementing code. $onversion into other coding schemes re%uires special methods. What is meant by self' om"lementing ode? A self-complementing code is the one in which the members of the number )ystem complement on themselves. This re%uires the following two conditions to be satisfied. The complement of the number should be obtained from that number by replacing 1s with /s and /s with 1s. The sum of the number and its complement should be e%ual to decimal 0. -xample of a selfcomplementing code is i. 2-3-4-1 code. ii. -xcess-* code.

A table, which consists time se%uence of inputs, outputs and flip-flop states, is called state table. ,enerally it consists of three section present state, next state and output. @?! What is a state e.,ation? A state e%uation also called, as an application e%uation is an algebraic expression that specifies the condition for a flip-flop state transition. The left side of the e%uation denotes the next state of the flip-flop and the right sideI a &oolean function specifies the present state. @B!What is meant by ra e aro,nd ondition? n E< flip-flop output is fed bac# to the input, and therefore changes in the output results change in the input. (ue to this in the positive half of the cloc# pulse if E and < are both high then output toggles continuously. This condition is #nown as race around condition. @H! What is flo# table? (uring the design of synchronous se%uential circuits, it is more convenient to name the states by letter symbols without ma#ing specific reference to their binary values. )uch table is called !low table. =>! What is "rimiti%e flo# table? A flow table is called 8rimitive flow table because it has only one stable state in each row. =4! Define ra e ondition! A race condition is said to exist in a synchronous se%uential circuit when two or more binary state variables change, the race is called non-critical race. =5! Define riti al N non' riti al ra e #ith e-am"le! The final stable state that the circuit reaches does not depend on the order in which the state variables change, the race is called non-critical race. *ART'&) 4!

The dynamic 6A= ((6A=) is an operating mod, which stores the binary information in the form of electric charges on capacitors. The capacitors are provided inside the chip by =5) transistors. The stored charges on the capacitors tend to discharge with time and the capacitors must be tending to discharge with time and the capacitors must be periodically recharged by refreshing the dynamic memory. (6A= offers reduced power consumption and larger storage capacity in a single memory chip. =! E-"lain SRA$? )tatic 6A= ()6A=) consists of internal latches that store the binary information.
