Digital Electronic Circuits: Goutam Saha

This document introduces digital electronic circuits. It explains that digital technology uses discrete binary signals that are easier to store, transmit, and process than analog signals. Manipulation of digital signals involves switching, which allows for logic operations like AND, OR, and NOT. Diodes can be used as switches to perform AND and OR logic operations by taking advantage of their electrical properties. The key advantages of digital technology are its use of inexpensive discrete components and greater immunity to noise.

Introduction
Lecture 01
Concepts Covered:

 Why ‘Digital’ and what is ‘Digital’?

 Manipulation of digital signal

 Switching and logic operation

 Diode as a switch
Why Digital?
• Popular terms of current times:
- Digital Clock, Digital Camera, Digital Money, Digital Media, …

• Prefix ‘Digital’ associates a term with digital technology.

• Digital technology is considered more efficient for reasons such as:


- Easy to store, copy, compress - Immunity: noise, interference
- Various transmission options - Error correction, encryption
- Flexibility in processing - Analysis of data
- Inexpensive building block
What is Digital?
• Digital signals represent only finite number of discreet values (2 valued: Binary).
- Signal is discreet by nature - Signal, analog by nature, converted to discreet

• Digital systems represent and manipulate digital signals.


Manipulation of Digital Signals
• Switching is key to manipulation of digital signals.
• Digital data storage involves switching.

Conclusion:
• Digital technology provide better performance at a
lower cost. The key to it is inexpensive building blocks
i.e. digital electronic circuits.
• Digital systems represent and manipulate digital
signals. Digital signals are represented by finite
number of discreet values.
• Manipulation of digital signal involves switching.
Switching is associated with logic operations like AND,
OR, NOT.
• Diode as a switch can provide AND and OR logic.
