πŸ”΅ Introduction to Digital Logic

Logic gates are the fundamental building blocks of digital circuits. These special electronic devices perform logical operations on binary inputs, which are represented by 0s and 1s. By following predefined rules, they generate a binary output, which can also be a 0 or 1.

Digital logic is the backbone of modern electronics. This repository is designed to give hands-on experience with logic gates, their IC implementations, and simple circuits using diodes and transistors.


πŸ”΅ Basic Logic Gates

Basic logic gates commonly used in digital systems include AND, OR, and NOT gates. These gates form the foundation for performing various operations and implementing complex digital circuits. The 74 series ICs are used for experiments with two-input gates.

1. AND Gate (74HC08)

  • Truth Table:

    Input A Input B Output (Y)
    0 0 0
    0 1 0
    1 0 0
    1 1 1
  • Symbol:

    AND Gate Symbol

2. OR Gate (74HC32)

  • Truth Table:

    Input A Input B Output (Y)
    0 0 0
    0 1 1

3. NOT Gate (74HC04)

  • Truth Table:

    Input A Output (Y)
    0 1
    1 0
  • Symbol:

    NOT Gate Symbol

🟑 Universal Gates

Universal gates like NAND and NOR can be used to build any other gate or circuit.

    0 0 1
    0 1 0
    1 0 0
    1 1 0

🟠 Equivalent Circuits for Basic Gates

Digital logic gates can be constructed using diodes and transistors, demonstrating their working at a fundamental level.

1. AND Gate (Diode-Transistor Logic)

  • Equivalent Circuit:

    AND Gate Circuit
  • Diodes allow current only if both inputs are HIGH, and the transistor amplifies this signal to give a HIGH output.


2. OR Gate (Diode Logic)

  • Equivalent Circuit:

    OR Gate Circuit
  • Diodes allow current to flow if any input is HIGH, producing a HIGH output.


🟠 Combinational Circuits

Half-Adder

  • A half-adder adds two single-bit numbers and outputs a sum and a carry.

  • Circuit Diagram:

              A ----|\
                     |  \
                     |   |---- Sum
              B ----|   /
                     |/
                    |---- Carry
    
  • Truth Table:

    Input A Input B Sum Carry
    0 0 0 0
    0 1 1 0
    1 0 1 0
    1 1 0 1

🟑 Sequential Circuits

D Flip-Flop

  • A D flip-flop captures the value of the input (D) on the rising edge of the clock signal and holds it until the next clock edge.

  • Circuit Diagram:

             D ----|>o----|\
                     |      |  \
                     |      |   |---- Q (Output)
              Clock--|      |   |
                            |   |
                           ----  |
                           |  |  |
                           |__|__|
                             |
                             |
                            Q' (Inverted Output)
