1-1 What Is a Digital Signal?
In your experience with electricity and electronics you have probably used
analog circuits. The circuit in Fig. 1-1(a) puts out an analog signal or
voltage. As the wiper on the potentiometer is moved upward, the voltage
from points A to B gradually increases. When the wiper is moved
downward, the voltage gradually decreases from 5 to 0 volts (V). The
waveform diagram in Fig. 1-1(b) is a graph of the analog output. On the
left side the voltage from A to B is gradually increasing to 5 V; on the right
side the voltage is gradually decreasing to 0 V. By stopping the
potentiometer wiper at any midpoint, we can get an output voltage
anywhere between 0 and 5 V. An analog device, then, is one that has a
signal which varies continuously in step with the input.
Fig. 1-1 (a) Analog output from a potentiometer. (b) Analog signal waveform.
Analog signal
A digital device operates with a digital signal. Figure 1-2(a) pictures a
square-wave generator. The generator produces a square waveform that
is displayed on the oscilloscope. The digital signal is only at +5 V or at 0
V, as diagrammed in Fig. 1-2(b). The voltage at point A moves from 0 to 5
V. The voltage then stays at +5 V for a time. At point B the voltage drops
immediately from +5 to 0 V. The voltage then stays at 0 V for a time.
Only two voltages are present in a digital electronic circuit. In the
waveform diagram in Fig. 1-2(b) these voltages are labeled HIGH and
LOW. The HIGH voltage is +5 V; the LOW voltage is 0 V. Later we shall
call the HIGH voltage (+5 V) a logical 1 and the LOW voltage (0 V) a
logical 0. Circuits that handle only HIGH and LOW signals are called digital
circuits.

ABOUT ELECTRONICS
A Changing Field.
Electronics is among the most exciting areas of technical study. New
developments are reported weekly. Interestingly, most developments
are based on the fundamentals learned in the first classes in
electricity, analog and digital circuits, computer technology and
robotics, and communications.

Fig. 1-5 Analog system used to interpret float level in water tank.
Digital systems are required when data must be stored, used for
calculations, or displayed as numbers and/or letters. A somewhat more
complex arrangement for measuring the amount of liquid in a water tank
is the digital system shown in Fig. 1-6. The input is still a variable
resistance as it was in the analog system. The resistance is converted into
numbers by the analog-to-digital (A/D) converter. The central processing
unit (CPU) of a computer can manipulate the input data, output the
information, store the information, calculate things such as flow rates in
and out, calculate the time until the tank is full (or empty) based on flow
rates, and so forth. Digital systems are valuable when calculations, data
manipulations, data storage, and alphanumeric or video outputs are
required. Data transfers via the Internet are common.
Fig. 1-6 Digital system used to interpret float level in water tank.
It will be noted that information from the sensors in Fig. 1-7(b) page 7
comes in various forms. The fuel tank sending unit delivers a
variable-voltage signal to the computer module. With higher levels of fuel
in the tank the sending unit generates a higher positive voltage.
The vehicle speed sensor sends a variable-frequency signal. At lower
vehicle speeds the sensor emits a low-frequency signal. At higher speeds
a high-frequency signal is sent to the computer module.
The engine control module sends several digital signals to the
instrument control module. The engine control module determines how
much fuel is injected into the cylinders of the engine and the timing.
Digital Circuitry: Advantages and Limitations
Some of the advantages of using digital circuitry instead of analog are as
follows:
1. Inexpensive ICs can be used with few external components.
2. Information can be stored for short periods or indefinitely.
3. Data can be used for precise calculations.
4. Systems can be designed more easily using compatible digital logic
families.
5. Systems can be programmed and show some manner of
“intelligence.”
6. Alphanumeric, picture, and video information can be viewed using a
variety of electronic displays.
7. Digital circuits are less affected by unwanted electrical interference
called noise.
8. Such circuits are compatible with the Internet and computers.

1-3 Where Are Digital Circuits Used?
Digital electronics is a huge and rapidly expanding field. The global system
of interconnected computer networks called the Internet serves billions of
users. Digital computers, in all their forms, serve as the backbone of the
Internet. The Internet consists of academic, business, private, and
government networks. The Internet allows users to access huge amounts
of information using the World Wide Web (WWW). The Internet also
supports two-way communications with e-mail and social networking sites
including Facebook. Huge amounts of data are transferred via the Internet
by banks, manufacturers, the military, medical professions, security
companies, governments, and businesses. The global economy could
hardly survive without the capabilities of digital computers, huge memory
banks, and the Internet.
Millions of individual electronic devices must be designed,
manufactured, tested, and repaired by technicians. Electronics technicians
and engineers are in great demand. The circuitry inside today’s electronic
devices almost always includes digital electronics as shown in Fig. 1-8.
Fig. 1-8 Integrated circuits are the building blocks of digital electronics.
