1 Digital Circuits 6 Combinational Circuits Q What is a digital system? A Digital: signals are or analog: signals vary continuously Q Why digital systems? A Accurate, reliable, fast, cheap Basic abstractions On, off Wire: propagates on/off value Switch: controls propagation of on/off values through wires George Boole (85 864) Claude Shannon (96 2) Applications Cell phone, ipod, antilock brakes, microprocessors, 2 Wires Building Blocks Wires ON (): connected to power OFF (): not connected to power If a wire is connected to a wire that is on, that wire is also on Typical drawing convention: "flow" from top, left to bottom, right thick wires are ON power connection thin wires are OFF 4

2 Controlled Switch Controlled Switch Controlled switch 3 connections: input, output, control Controlled switch 3 connections: input, output, control control OFF: output is connected to input control OFF input OFF output OFF control OFF input ON output ON 5 Controlled Switch Controlled Switch Controlled switch 3 connections: input, output, control control ON: output is disconnected from input Controlled switch 3 connections: input, output, control control OFF: output is connected to input control ON: output is disconnected from input control ON control OFF control ON output OFF input OFF output OFF output OFF control ON control OFF control ON output OFF input ON output ON output OFF idealized model of pass transistors found in real integrated circuits 7 8

3 Implementing a Controlled Switch Relay implementation 3 connections: input, output, control Magnetic force pulls on a contact that cuts electrical flow First Level of Abstraction Separates physical world from logical world we assume that switches operate as specified that is the only assumption physical realization of switch is irrelevant to design Physical realization dictates performance size speed power New technology immediately gives new computer Better switch? Better computer 9 Controlled Switches: A First Level of Abstraction Controlled Switches: A First Level of Abstraction Some amusing attempts to prove the point: Real-world examples that prove the point: technology switch Technology Information Switch relay pneumatic air pressure vacuum tube fluid relay water pressure electric potential transistor pass transistor in integrated circuit atom-thick transistor 2

4 Controlled Switches: A First Level of Abstraction? Circuit Anatomy VLSI = Very Large Scale Integration Technology: Deposit materials on substrate drawing Key property: Crossing lines are controlled switches drawing Key challenge in physical world: Fabricating physical circuits with billions of controlled switches Key challenge in abstract world: Understanding behavior of circuits with billions of controlled switches circuit Bottom line: Circuit = Drawing (!) need more levels of abstraction to understand circuit behavior 3 4 Second Level of Abstraction: Logic Gates Second Level of Abstraction: Logic Gates 5 6

5 Multiway Gates Multiway gates OR: if any input is ; otherwise AND: if all inputs are ; otherwise Generalized: negate some inputs Multiway Gates Multiway gates OR: if any input is ; otherwise AND: if all inputs are ; otherwise Generalized: negate some inputs 7 8 Building blocks (summary) Wires Boolean Algebra Controlled switches Gates Generalized multiway gates u v w x y z u v w x y z interpretation: value is iff variables with inverters are (and others ) AND u vwx y z abstract AND gate implementation underlying circuit simpler version 9

6 Boolean Algebra Boole Orders Lunch History Developed by Boole to solve mathematical logic problems (847) Shannon master's thesis applied it to digital circuits (937) Boolean algebra Boolean variable: value is or Boolean function: function whose inputs and outputs are, Relationship to circuits Boolean variable: signal Boolean function: circuit possibly the most important, and also the most famous, master's thesis of the [2th] century Howard Gardner Copyright 24, Sidney Harris Truth Table Truth Table for Functions of 2 Variables Truth table Systematic method to describe Boolean function One row for each possible input combination n inputs! 2 n rows Truth table 6 Boolean functions of 2 variables every 4-bit value represents one x y ZERO AND x y XOR OR x y x y truth table for all Boolean functions of 2 variables x y NOR EQ y' x' NAND ONE AND truth table truth table for all Boolean functions of 2 variables 23 24
