Sahithyan's S2 — Computer Organization And Digital Design

Logic Gates

There are AND, OR, XOR, and their inverted versions.

BUF

A logical gate that reflects the input as is. But there is a time delay.

Tri-state buffer

Works as a switch. A control signal. if the control signal is

  • 0 - disconnected
  • 1 - connected

Extending for n-inputs

XOR

Returns true iff when the number of true inputs are odd.

Logical circuit representation

Logical circuits are a abstraction of transistor circuits. The circuits can be built using TTL or CMOS.

TTL

Two or more transistors are used.

CMOS

Uses 2 metal oxide semiconductors.

Power consumption

Here:

  • - Capacitance of the circuit
  • - Supply voltage
  • - Charging frequency of the capacitor

Here:

  • - Supply voltage
  • - Leakage current
