Chapter 3 - Digital logic structures. This chapter presents the following content: Electronic ones and zeros, transistors, CMOS transistors, inverter gate, NOR gate, NOR gate - Operation, OR gate, NAND & AND Gates, logic gates & symbols, De Morgan’s Law,.and other contents. | Chapter 3 Digital Logic Structures Transistors Logic gates & Boolean logic Combinational logic Storage Elements Memory Electronic ones and zeros An electronic switch like a light switch or faucet switches between insulator (open circuit) and conductor (closed circuit) We can call the presence of a voltage “1” and its absence “0” 3 - Transistors An electronic switch that is open or closed between the source and the drain depending on the voltage on the gate. 3 - A B G N Open (insulating) if gate is “off” = 0 Closed (conducting) if gate is “on” = 1 P Open (insulating) if gate is “on” = 1 Closed (conducting) if gate is “off” = 0 A B G CMOS Transistors CMOS = Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor Standard type for digital applications Two versions: P-type (positive) and N-type (negative) P and N-type transistors operate in inverse modes 3 - v 0 v out in Inverter Gate When the input is on (in = high voltage), the P-type transistor is open and the N-type is closed, so the output is off (out = low voltage). Vice-versa: when the Input is off (in = low voltage), the output is connected to the high voltage.

This result extends also to functions of more than two variables In fact, it turns out to be convenient to use a basic set of three logic gates: AND, OR & NOT or NAND, NOR & NOT 3 - Representation of Logic Functions A | Chapter 3 Digital Logic Structures Transistors Logic gates & Boolean logic Combinational logic Storage Elements Memory Electronic ones and zeros An electronic switch like a light switch or faucet switches between insulator (open circuit) and conductor (closed circuit) We can call the presence of a voltage “1” and its absence “0” 3 - Transistors An electronic switch that is open or closed between the source and the drain depending on the voltage on the gate. 3 - A B G N Open (insulating) if gate is “off” = 0 Closed (conducting) if gate is “on” = 1 P Open (insulating) if gate is “on” = 1 Closed (conducting) if gate is “off” = 0 A B G CMOS Transistors CMOS = Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor Standard type for digital applications Two versions: P-type (positive) and N-type (negative) P and N-type transistors operate in inverse modes 3 - v 0 v out in Inverter Gate When the input is on (in = high voltage), the P-type transistor is open and the N-type is closed, so the
