A
  1. X = ¬¬X
31
Q

A

X
double negation

32
Q

what is a karnaugh map

A

an alternative way of simplifying boolean expressions which is often easier than using boolean algerbra for those using up to three of four variables. it is similar to a truth table and allows us to easily detect grouping with common factors

33
Q

K-MAPS: sizes of groupings that are allowed

A

1, 2, 4 or 8 and can be overlapping

34
Q

K - MAPS: determining groupings

A

each grouping should be as large as possible

35
Q

what is a half-adder

A

a half adder can take an input of two-bits and give a two-bit output as a correct result of an addition of the two bits

36
Q

adders: what does S represent

A

sum

37
Q

adders: what does C represent

A

carry bit

38
Q

what is a full adder

A

a full adder combines two half adders to add three bits together including the two inputs A and B, and the carry bit

39
Q

logic gate circuit for half adder

A
40
Q

logic gate of full adder

A
41
Q

what is a D-type flip-flop

A

a flip flop is an element sequential logic circuit that can store one bit and flip between two states, 0 and 1. a D-type flip flop has one input called D, and two output Q and NOT Q (a clock signal).

42
Q

what does an edge-triggered flip-flop mean

A

it stores the value of one bit when a signal is given
- takes in three inputs the clock, D and Q and then on the rising edge of the clock Q will change to D

43
Q

uses of D-type flip-flops

A
  • D-type flip-flops are used for creating registers and counters
  • they are used for intermediate storage needed during arithmetic operations
  • static RAM is also created using D-type flip-flops
44
Q

what does a D-type flip-flop look like

A
