 Introduction (Analog Signals and Systems)
• The type of signals which are continuous • The circuit which process these
and have any value in a limited range are signals are called as Analog Circuit
known as Analog Signals. (Fig: 1) and the system build around
this kind of operation are known as
Analog Systems (Fig: 2)

 Introduction (Digital Signals and Systems)
• The signal which always exists • The circuit designed in calculator is
between any one of the two levels i.e. called Digital Circuit (Fig: 1) and the
either HIGH or LOW is called Digital calculator is an example for Digital
Signals. System (Fig: 2)

BASIC IDENTITIES OF BOOLEAN ALGEBRA
[1] x + 0 = x [2] x • 0 = 0
[3] x + 1 = 1 [4] x • 1 = x
[5] x + x = x [6] x • x = x
[7] x + x’ = 1 [8] x • X’ = 0
[9] x + y = y + x [10] xy = yx
[11] x + (y + z) = (x + y) + z [12] x(yz) = (xy)z
[13] x(y + z) = xy +xz [14] x + yz = (x + y)(x + z)
[15] (x + y)’ = x’y’ [16] (xy)’ = x’ + y’
[17] (x’)’ = x
[15] and [16] : De Morgan’s Theorem
Usefulness of this Table
- Simplification of the Boolean function
- Derivation of equivalent Boolean functions to obtain logic diagrams using logic gates
-- Ordinarily ANDs, ORs, and Inverters
-- But a certain different form of Boolean function may be convenient to obtain circuits with NANDs or
NORs
→ Applications of De Morgans Theorem
x’y’ = (x + y)’ x’+ y’= (xy)’
AND → NOR OR → NAND

 MOS Digital ICs
• MOS: metal-oxide-semiconductor • P-MOS: P-channel MOS
• MOSFET: MOS field-effect transistors. • N-MOS: N-channel MOS, fastest
• The Good: • CMOS: complementary MOS, higher
• Simple speed, lower power dissipation.
• Inexpensive to fabricate • N-channel MOSFET (shown next
• Small slide) works when:
• Consumes little power
• The bad: • VGS=0V OFF State, Roff= 1010 ohms
• Static-electricity damage. • VGS=5V ON State,Ron=1000 ohms
• Slower than TTL

 CMOS
• Uses both P and N-channel
MOSFETs in the same circuit to
realize several advantages over
the P-MOS and N-MOS families.
• CMOS Inverter
• When Vin is LOW
• PMOS is ON and NMOS is OFF
• When Vin is HIGH
• PMOS is OFF and NMOS is ON
