Basic Digital Concepts
Introduction

 In science, technology, business, and, in fact, most other

fields of endeavor, we are constantly dealing with
quantities.
 Quantities are measured, monitored, recorded,
manipulated arithmetically, observed, or in some other
way utilized in most physical systems.
 It is important when dealing with various quantities that
we be able to represent their values efficiently and
accurately.
 There are basically two ways of representing the
numerical value of quantities: analog and digital.
Digital versus Analog systems
Analog Representation:
 In analog representation
a quantity is represented
by a voltage, current, or
meter movement that is
proportional to the value
of that quantity.
 Analog quantities such
as those cited above
have an important
characteristic: they can
vary over a continuous
range of values.
Digital Representation:
 In digital representation the
quantities are represented not by
proportional quantities but by
symbols called digits.
 As an example, consider the digital
watch, which provides the time of
day in the form of decimal digits
which represent hours and minutes
(and sometimes seconds).
 As we know, the time of day
changes continuously, but the
digital watch reading does not
change continuously; rather, it
changes in steps of one per minute
(or per second).
The major difference between
 In other words, this digital
analog and digital quantities is
representation of the time of day
Analog  Continuous
changes in discrete steps, as
compared with the representation
of time provided by an analog
Digital  Discrete
watch, where the dial reading
changes continuously.
Advantages and Limitations of Digital Techniques

 Advantages
 Digital systems are easier to design.
 The switching circuits in which there are only two voltage
levels, HIGH and LOW, are easier to design. The exact Limitation
numerical values of voltages are not important because
they have only logical significance; only the range in which There is really only
they fall is important.
 Information storage is easy. one major drawback
 There are many types of semiconductor and magnetic when using digital
memories of large capacity which can store data for
periods as long as necessary. techniques:
 Accuracy and precision are greater.
 Digital systems arc much more accurate and precise than
analog systems, because digital systems can be easily “ The real world is
expanded to handle more digits by adding more switching
circuits. Analog systems will be quite complex and costly mainly analog”
for the same accuracy and precision.
 Digital systems are more versatile.
 It is fairly easy to design digital systems whose operation is
controlled by a set of stored instructions called the
program. Any time the system operation is to be changed,
it can easily be accomplished by modifying the program
 Digital circuits are less affected by noise.
 Unwanted electrical signals are called noise. Noise is
unavoidable in any system. Since in analog systems the
exact values of voltages are important and in digital
systems only the range of values is important, the effect of
noise is more severe in analog systems. In digital systems,
noise is not critical as long as it is not large enough to
prevent us from distinguishing a HIGH from a LOW.
To take advantage of digital techniques when dealing with

analog inputs and outputs, three steps must be followed:
 Convert the real-world analog inputs to digital form. (ADC)
 Process (operate on) the digital information.
 Convert the digital outputs back to real-world analog form. (DAC)
The following diagram shows a temperature control system that
requires analog/digital conversions in order to allow the use of
digital processing techniques.
Block diagram of a typical temperature control system.

 The need for conversion between analog and digital forms

of information can be considered a drawback because of
the added complexity and expense.
 Another factor that is often important is the extra time
required to perform these conversions.
 In many applications, these factors are outweighed by the
numerous advantages of using digital techniques, and so
the conversion between analog and digital quantities has
become quite commonplace in the current technology.
 There are situations, however, where using only analog
techniques is simpler and more economical.
 For example, the process of signal amplification is most easily
accomplished using analog circuitry.
 It is becoming more and more common to see both digital
and analog techniques employed within the same system
in order to profit from the advantages of each.
 In these hybrid systems, one of the most important parts
of the design phase involves determining what parts of
the system are to be analog and what parts are to be
digital.
Binary logic Gates

 The general public as being magical sometimes looks upon
computers, calculators, and other digital devices.
 Actually, digital electronic devices are extremely logical in
their operation.
 The basic building block of any digital circuit is a logic gate.
 The logic gates we will use operate with binary numbers,
hence the term binary logic gates.
 Logic gates are the building blocks for even the most
complex computers.
 Logic gates can be constructed by using simple switches,
relays, vacuum tubes, transistors and diodes, or lCs.
 Because of their availability, wide use, and low cost, ICs will
be used to construct digital circuits.
 A variety of logic gates are available in all logic families
including TTL and CMOS.
Digital Signals
 Digital systems use the binary number system.
 Therefore, two-state devices are used to represent the two binary digits 1 and
0 by two different voltage levels, called HIGH and LOW.
 If the HIGH voltage level is used to represent 1 and the LOW voltage level to
represent 0, the system is called the positive logic system.
 On the other hand, if the HIGH voltage level represents 0 and the LOW voltage
level represents 1, the system is called the negative logic system.
 Normally, the binary 0 and 1 are represented by the logic voltage levels 0V and
+5 V.
 So, in positive logic system, 1 is represented by + 5 V (HIGH) and 0 is
represented by 0 V (LOW); and in a negative logic system, 0 is represented by
+ 5 V (HIGH) and l is represented by 0 V ( LOW).
 Both positive and negative logics are used in digital systems, but the positive
logic is more common.
 In reality, because of circuit variations, the 0 and 1 would be

represented by voltage ranges instead of particular voltage
levels.
 Example of Voltages Level in TTL family
5.0V HIGH
(Logic 1)
2.0 V Indeterminate
range
0.8V LOW
(Logic 0)
0V
Waveform Characteristics
 Most waveforms encountered in digital
systems are composed of series of pulses,
sometimes called pulse trains, and can be
classified as either periodic or nonperiodic.
 A periodic pulse waveform is one that repeats
itself at a fixed interval, called a period (T).
The frequency (f) is the rate at which it
repeats itself and is measured in hertz (Hz). Periodic pulse-train
 A nonperiodic pulse waveform, of course,
does not repeat itself at fixed intervals and
may be composed of pulses of randomly
differing pulse widths and/or randomly differing
time intervals between the pulses. An example
of each type is shown in Figure 1.5. Non-Periodic pulse-train
 The frequency (f) of a pulse (digital) waveform
is the reciprocal of the period. The relationship
between frequency and period is expressed as
f T
follows: 1 1
T f
 An important characteristic of a periodic digital
waveform is its duty cycle. The duty cycle is
the ratio of the pulse width (tW) to the period
(T) and can be expressed as a percentage.
 t W 
Duty cycle   100%
T
TIMING DIAGRAMS
 A timing diagram is a graph of digital
waveforms showing the actual time
relationship of two or more waveforms
and how each waveform changes in
relation to the others.
 By looking at a timing diagram, you can
determine the states (HIGH or LOW) of all
the waveforms at any specified point in
time and the exact time that a waveform
changes state relative to the other
waveforms.
 Figure 1.6 is an example of a timing
diagram made up of four waveforms.
Figure 1.6 Examples of timing diagram.
From this timing diagram you can see,

for example, that the three waveforms A,
B, and C are HIGH only during bit time 7
and they all change back LOW at the end
of bit time 7 (shaded area).
DATA TRANSFER
 Data refers to groups of bits that convey some type of information.
Binary data, which are represented by digital waveforms, must be
transferred from one circuit to another within a digital system or
from one system to another in order to accomplish a given pur-pose.
 In computer systems, as illustrated in Figure below, binary data are
transferred in two ways: serial and parallel.
 When bits are transferred in serial form from one point to another,
(a) Serial transfer of 8 bits of binary data from
they are sent one bit at a time along a single conductor, as illustrated computer to modem.
in Figure (a) for the case of a computer-to-modem transfer.
 During the time interval from t0 to t1, the first bit is trans-ferred.
During the time interval from t1 to t2 the second bit is transferred,
and so on. To transfer eight bits in series, it takes eight time
intervals.
 When bits are transferred in parallel form, all the bits in a group are
sent out on separate lines at the same time. There is one line for each
bit as shown in Figure (b) for the example of eight bits being
transferred from a computer to a printer.
 To transfer eight bits in parallel, it takes one time interval compared
to eight time intervals for the serial transfer.
 To summarize, an advantage of serial transfer of binary data is that a
minimum of only one line is required. In parallel transfer, a number
of lines equal to the number of bits be transferred at one time is
required.
 A disadvantage of serial transfer is that it takes longer to transfer a
(b) Parallel transfer of 8 bits of binary
data from computer to printer. The
given number of bits than with parallel transfer. beginning time is to t0.
MEMORY
 When an input signal is applied to most devices or
circuits, the output somehow changes in response to
the input, and when the input signal is removed, the
output returns to its original state.
 These circuits do not exhibit the property of memory,
since their outputs revert back to normal.
 In digital circuitry certain types of devices and circuits
do have memory. When an input is applied to such a
circuit, the output will change its state, but it will
remain in the new state even after the input is
re-moved.
 This property of retaining its response to a momentary
input is called memory. Figure 1.8 illustrates
nonmemory and memory operations.
 Memory devices and circuits play an important role in nonmemory and memory operation
Figure 1.8 Comparison of
digital systems because they provide means for storing

binary numbers either temporarily or permanently,
with the ability to change the stored information at
any time.
 We shall see later the memory elements those which
utilize in digital circuits (called latches and flip-flops).
SIGNED NUMBERS
Digital systems, such as the computer, must be able to
handle both positive and negative numbers.
A signed binary number consists of both sign and
magnitude information.
The sign indicates whether a number is positive or
negative and
the magnitude is the value of the number.
There are three forms in which signed integer (whole)
numbers can be represented in binary:
Sign-magnitude,
1's complement, and
2's complement.
Of these, the 2's complement is the most important and
the sign-magnitude is rarely used.
The Sign Bit

The left-most bit in a signed binary number is the sign bit, which tells you whether the
number is positive or negative.
a 0 is for positive, and
a 1 is for negative
Sign-Magnitude Form
Sign-Magnitude
When a signed binary number is represented in sign-magnitude, the left-most bit is the sign bit and the
remaining bits are the magnitude bits.
The magnitude bits are in true (uncomplemented) binary for both positive and negative numbers.
For example, the decimal number +25 is expressed as an 8-bit signed binary number using the sign-
magnitude form as
00011001
Sign bit Magnitude bits
The decimal number −25 is expressed as 10011001
Notice that the only difference between +25 and -25 is the sign bit because the magnitude bits are in true
binary for both positive and negative numbers
In the sign-magnitude form, a negative number has the same magnitude bits as the corresponding
positive number but the sign bit is a 1 rather than a zero.
1’s and 2’2’ss Complements of Binary Numbers
The 1's complement and the 2's complement of a

binary number are important because they permit
the representation of negative numbers.
The method of 2's complement , arithmetic is
commonly used in computers to handle negative
numbers.
Finding the 1's Complement of a Binary Number
The 1's complement of a binary number is found
by changing all 1s to 0s and all 0s to 1s, illustrated
below:
10110010 Binary number
↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓↓
01001101 1’s complement
Finding the 2's Complement of a Binary Number

The 2's complement of a binary number is found
by adding 1 to the LSB of the 1's complement.
2's complement = (1’
(1’ss complement) + 1
Example
Find the 2's complement of 10110010.
Solution
10110010 Binary number
01001101 1's complement
+ 1 Add 1
01001110 2's complement
REPRESENTATION OF SIGNED NUMBERS AND www.foxitsoftware.com/shopping
BINARY ARITHMETIC IN COMPUTERS

So far, we have considered only positive numbers. The representation
of negative is also equally important. There are two ways of
representing signed numbers:
sign- magnitude form and
complement form.
There are two complement forms:
1's complement form and
2's complement form.
Most digital computers do subtraction by the 2's complement method,
but some do it by the 1's complement method.
The advantage of performing subtraction by the complement
method is reduction in the hardware.
Instead of having separate digital circuits for addition and subtraction,
only adding circuits are needed.
That is, subtraction is also performed by adders only. Instead of
subtracting one number from the other, the complement of the
subtrahend is added to the minuend.
In sign-magnitude form, an additional bit called the sign bit is placed in
front of the number.
If the sign bit is a 0, the number is positive. If it is a 1, the number is
negative.
• Example of Signed-magnitude form
0 1 0 1 0 0 1 +41
Sign bit Magnitude bit
1 1 0 1 0 0 1 -41
Sign bit Magnitude bit
Under the signed-magnitude system, a great

deal of manipulation is necessary to add a
positive number to a negative number.
Thus, though the signed-magnitude number
system is possible, it is impractical.

2's (or 1's) Complement Method

The 2's (or 1's) complement system for
representing signed numbers works like this:
1. If the number is positive, the magnitude is
represented in its true binary form and a sign bit 0
is placed in front of the MSB.
2. If the number is negative, the magnitude is
represented in its complement form and a sign bit
1 is placed in front of the MSB.
That is, to represent the numbers in sign 2's (or
1's) complement form, determine the 2's (or 1's)
complement of the magnitude of the number and
then attach the sign bit.
The conversion of complement to true binary is
the same as the process used to convert true
binary to complement.
Example on representation of + 51 and - 51 in both 2's and 1's

complement forms is shown below:
0 1 1 0 0 1 1 +51 ( in signed magnitude form)

( in 2’s complement form)
Sign bit Magnitude
( In 1’s complement form)
1 1 1 0 0 1 1 -51 ( in signed magnitude form)

Sign bit Magnitude
1 0 0 1 1 0 0 -51 (In 1’s complement form)
Sign bit Magnitude
1 0 0 1 1 0 1 -51 (in 2’s complement form)
Sign bit Magnitude

To subtract using the 2's (or 1's) complement method; represent

both the subtrahend and the minuend by the same number of

bits.
Take the 2's (or 1's) complement of the subtrahend including the
sign bit.
Keep the minuend in its original form and add the 2's (or 1's)
complement of the subtrahend to it.
The choice of 0 for positive sign and 1 for negative sign is not
arbitrary.
In fact, this choice makes it possible to add the sign bits in binary
addition just as other bits are added.
When the sign bit is a 0, the remaining bits represent magnitude,
and
when the sign bit is a 1, the remaining bits represent 2's or 1's
complement of the number.
The polarity of the signed number can be changed simply by
performing the complement on the complete number.
Special case in 2's complement representation:
* Whenever a signed number has a 1 in sign bit and all 0s for the
magnitude bits, the decimal equivalent is -2n, where n number of
bits in the magnitude. For example, 1000 = - 8 and 10000 = - 16.
Characteristics of the 2's complement numbers.
The 2's complement numbers have the following properties:

There is one unique zero.
The 2's complement of 0 is 0.
The left most bit cannot be used to express a quantity. It is a
sign bit. If it is a 1, the number is negative and if it is a 0, the
number is positive.
For an n-bit word which includes the sign bit, there are 2n-1 - 1
positive integers, 2n-1 negative integers and one 0, for a total
of 2n unique states.
Significant information is contained in the 1s of the positive
numbers and 0s of the negative numbers.
A negative number may be converted into a positive number
by finding its 2's complement.
Methods of obtaining the 2's complement of a

number:
The 2's complement of a number can be
obtained in three ways as given below.
By obtaining the 1's complement of the
given number (by changing all 0s to 1s and
1s to 0s) and then adding 1.
By subtracting the given n-bit number N
from 2n.
Starting at the LSB, copying down each bit
up to and including the first 1 bit
encountered, and complementing the
remaining bits.
Example: Express -45 in 8-bit 2’s complement form.

Solution
+45 in 8-bit form is 00101101.
First method
Obtain the 1’s complement of 00101101 and then add 1.
Positive expression of the given number 00101101
1’s complement of it 11010010
Add 1 +1
Thus, the 2’s complement form of -45 is 11010011
Second method
Subtract the given number N from 2n
2n = 100000000
Subtract 45 = − 00101101
Third method
Copy down the bits starting from LSB up to and including the first 1, and
then complement the remaining bits.
Original number 00101101
Copy up to first 1 bit 1
Complement the remaining bits 1010011
Two's Complement Arithmetic

The 2's complement system is used to represent negative
numbers using modulus arithmetic.
The word length of a computer is fixed.
That means if a 4-bit number is added to another 4-bit
number, the result will be only of 4 bits. Carry, if any, from
the fourth bit will overflow.
This is called the modulus arithmetic.
For example: 1100 + 1111 = 1011.
In the 2's complement subtraction, add the 2's complement
of the subtrahend to the minuend.
If there is a carry out, ignore it. Look at the sign bit, i.e. MSB
of the sum term.
If the MSB is a 0, the result is positive and is in true binary
form.
If the MSB is a 1 (whether there is a carry or no carry at all)
the result is negative and is in its 2's complement form.
Take its 2's complement to find its magnitude in binary.
Example: subtract 14 from 46 using the 8-bit 2’s

complement arithmetic.
Solution
+14 = 00001110
−14 = 11110010 (in 2’s complement form)
+46 00101110
−14 ⇒ +11110010 (2’s complement form of−14)
+32 100100000 (Ignore the carry)
There is a carry, ignore it.
The MSB is 0; so, the result is positive and is in
normal binary form.
Therefore, the result is +00100000=+32
Example: add −75 to +26 using the 8-bit 2’s

complement arithmetic
Solution
+75 = 01001011
−75 = 10110101 (in 2’s complement form)
+26 00011010
−75 ⇒ +10110101 (2’s complement form of -75)
−49 11001111 (No carry)
There is no carry, the MSB is a 1.
So, the result is negative and is in 2’s complement
form.
The magnitude is 2’s complement of 11001111,
that is, 00110001=49.
Therefore, the result is −49.
One's Complement Arithmetic

The 1's complement of a number is obtained by simply complementing each bit of
the number, that is, by changing all the 0s to 1 s and all the 1 s to 0s.
We can also say that the 1's complement of a number is obtained by subtracting
each bit of the number from l.
This complemented value represents the negative of the original number.
This system is very easy to implement in hardware by simply feeding all bits
through inverters.
One of the difficulties of using 1's complement is its representation of zero.
Both 00000000 and its 1's complement 11111111 represent zero.
The 00000000 is called positive zero and the 11111111 is called negative zero.
In 1's complement subtraction, add the 1's complement of the subtrahend to the
minuend.
If there is a carry out, bring the carry around and add it to the LSB. This is called
the end around carry.
Look at the sign bit (MSB); if this is a 0, the result is positive and is in true binary.
If the MSB is a 1 (whether there is a carry or no carry at all), the result is negative
and is in its 1's complement form. Take its 1's complement to get the magnitude in
binary.
Example: subtract 14 from 25 using the 8-bit 1’s

complement arithmetic
Solution
+25 00011001
−14 ⇒ +11110001 (1’s complement form of −14)
+11 100001010
+1 (Add the end around carry)
00001011 =+ 1110
Example: Add −25 to 14 using the 8-bit 1’s

complement method.
Solution
+14 00001110
−25 ⇒ +11100110 (1’s complement form of −25)
−11 11110100 (No carry)
There is no carry, the MSB is a 1.
So, the result is negative and is in its 1’s
complement form.
The 1’s complement of 11110100 is
00001011.
The result is, therefore, −1110.
The two numbers in addition are the addend

and the augend. The result is the sum. The 2’s
compliment will be used to represent negative
numbers.
There are four cases that must be considered
when adding two numbers:
1. Both numbers positive
2. Positive number and smaller negative number
3. Positive number and larger negative number
4. Both numbers negative
We will take one case at a time. Eight bits are
used to represent each number
1. Both numbers positive:

In this case, both sign bits are zero and a 2's compliment
is not required. To illustrate, we will add +7 and +4:
7 00000111
+4 00000100
11 00001011
2. Positive number and smaller negative number:
In this case, the true binary form of the positive number is
added to the 2's complement of the negative number.
The sign bits are included in the addition, and the result
will be positive. To illustrate we will add + 15 and -6:
15 00001111
+ -6 11111010
9 100001001
Discard carry
Notice that the sign of the sum is positive (0) as it should be.
3. Positive number and larger negative number:

Again, the true binary form of positive number is added

to the 2's complement of the negative number.
The sign bits are included in the addition, and the result
will be negative. To illustrate will add + 16 and - 24:
16 00010000
+ -24 11101000 (2’s complement of -24)
-8 11111000 (2’s complement of -8)
Notice that the result automatically comes out in 2's
complement because it is a negative number.
4. Both numbers negative:
In this case, the 2's complements of both numbers added
and, of course, the sum is a negative number in 2's
complement form illustrate, we will add - 5 and -9:
-5 11111011 (2’s complement of -5)
+ -9 11110111 (2’s complement of -9)
-14 111110010 (2’s complement of -14)
Discard carry
Overflow
When the number of bits in the sum exceeds the number
of bits in each of numbers added, overflow results, as
il ustrated by the fol owing example.
The overflow condition can occur only when both

numbers are positive or both numbers are negative. An
overflow result is indicated by an incorrect sign bit.
Binary Subtraction www.foxitsoftware.com/shopping
Subtraction is a special case of addition.

For example, subtracting +6 (subtrahend) from
+9 (minuend) is equivalent to adding -6 to +9.
Basically the subtraction operation changes the
sign of the subtrahend and adds it to the
minuend.
The 2's complement method can be used in
subtraction that all operations require only
addition.
The four cases that were discussed relation to
the addition of signed numbers apply to the
subtraction process because subtraction can be
essentially reduced to an addition process.
