ALU 74181:
The 74181 is a bit slice arithmetic logic unit (ALU), implemented
as a 7400 series TTL integrated circuit. The first complete ALU on a single
chip, it was used as the arithmetic/logic core in the CPUs of many
historically significant minicomputers and other devices.
The 74181 represents an evolutionary step between the CPUs of
the 1960s, which were constructed using discrete logic gates, and today's
single-chip CPUs or microprocessors. Although no longer used in
commercial products, the 74181 is still referenced in computer
organization textbooks and technical papers. It is also sometimes used in
'hands-on' college courses, to train future computer architects.
AND GATE:
The AND gate is a basic digital logic gate that implements logical
conjunction - it behaves according to the truth table to the right. A HIGH
output (1) results only if both the inputs to the AND gate are HIGH (1). If
neither or only one input to the AND gate is HIGH, a LOW output results.
D Flip Flop:
The D flip-flop is widely used. It is also known as a "data" or
"delay" flip-flop. It captures the value of the D-input at a definite portion of
the clock cycle (such as the rising edge of the clock). That captured value
becomes the Q output. At other times, the output Q does not change. The D
flip-flop can be viewed as a memory cell, a zero-order hold, or a delay line.
