Logic Gates Characteristics A combinational Logic circuit with two or more inputs and one output OR Gates And Gates Exclusive OR Gates etc. Inputs are limited too two values High Logic 1 Often assumed to be +5V Low Logic 0 Often assumed to be 0V
Logic Gates Characteristics Inputs are limited too two values Possible combinations 2-inputs with 2-possible values => 4 permutations Permutations 2 n, n= number of inputs OR Gate
AND Gate Logic Gates
Logic Gates Exclusive OR Gate The XOR gate (sometimes EOR gate) is a digital logic gate that implements exclusive disjunction - it behaves according to the truth table A HIGH output (1) results if one, and only one, of the inputs to the gate is HIGH (1). If both inputs are LOW (0) or both are HIGH (1), a LOW output (0) results. Boolean algebra
Logic Gates Sample Gate Application AND Gate What would the Output be with: OR Gate, XOR Gate
Inverters Characteristics Changes one logic level to the other Often needed in digital circuits Chapter 9 page 248» The R input to the flip-flop has an invert on it
Sample Application Inverters Notice the line over BURST. It is called BURST NOT
NAND Gates Key Aspects Can be built with the gates already covered An AND Gate followed by an Inverter So commonly used construction are available monolithic implementations Characteristics
Actual Gate Considerations Key Aspects Will use NAND Gates as a sub fro all gates Simplified /Improved Component Count Two emitters almost as easy in manufacturing as one Accomplished when artwork for the IC is made Three components less
Actual Gate Considerations Rise Time Problems Caused by the input capacitance of gates driven high TTL gates typically have a Fan out of 10 Thus the parallel connection the gate s input capacitance is significant Rise time we decrease if R2 was made smaller However significant current would flow when Q2 was turned on
Actual Gate Considerations Rise Time Problems Solution Use Totem Pole Output Totem Pole Operation When at least on input is low Q2 is off, No current in R3 and Q4 is off Q3 is on and R4 can be small and minimize the time constant for the output to go high» Whit a Low out Q3 is off When both inputs are High Reverse currents supply base of Q4
Actual Gate Considerations Rise Time Problems Totem Pole Operation When both inputs are High Reverse currents supply base of Q2, Q2 conducts Base of Q4 goes high and Q4 conducts Output is Low Much faster Rise times Since Q3 only conducts when the output is high, R3 can be sized to minimize the time constant and not cause a heat and efficiency problem
