Question Answer
What is a Half Adder? > Takes an input of two bits and gives a two-bit output > The carry bit cannot be used from a previous addition as there are only two inputs
What is the Logic Diagram for a Half Adder? S = A ⊻ B C = A ∧ B
What is a Full Adder? > Combines two half adders to add 3 bits together > Includes three inputs: A, B, and a carry bit C > Gives a two bit output
What is the Logic Diagram for a Full Adder? S = A ⊻ B ⊻ Cᵢₙ Cₒᵤₜ = (A ∧ B) ∨ (Cᵢₙ ∧ (A ⊻ B))
How do you Connect Multiple Adders to Add more Bits? > Use the carry from the first adder to the next
What is a Flip-Flop? > Elemental sequential logic circuit (no i don't know what that means either) > Stores one bit > Flips between two states: 0 and 1 (wow!) > Two inputs: a control input and a clock signal
What is a Clock / Oscillator? > Type of sequential circuit > Changes state at regular time intervals > Necessary to sync the change of state of flip-flops
What is a D-type Flip-Flop > Positive edge-triggered flip-flop > Can only change the output value from 1 to 0, or visa versa, when the clock is at a rising / positive edge (when the clock is "going" from 0 to 1, not 1 to 0) > When the clock is not at a positive edge, the input value is held and does not change
What is the Symbol for a D-type Flip-Flop? ▷ = positive edge-triggered clock signal
Why is the Flip-Flop Circuit Important? Can be used as a memory cell to store the state of a bit
What are some Examples of a D-type Flip-Flop being used as a Memory Unit? > Register memories, used for intermediate storage needed during arithmetic operations > Static RAM
have a timing diagram because idk how to make a flashcard out of it
