(a) Encoder/Decoder
ANSWER:
Application of decoder:
2) Used in circuits.
3) Used in multiplexer.
II. Multiplexer is used in parallel to series conversion and logic function generator.
Application of demultiplexer :
2. The demultiplexer contains a patent pending optical lenses system correctiving geometric
aberrations in a large spectral range.
(c) Application of flip flop.
2) One use is to build finite state machines from electronic logic. The flip-
flops remember the machine's previous state, and digital logic uses that
state to calculate the next state.
Question 2.Discuss the basic logic behind counter i.e. how will you obtain 1000(8) from
0111(7)? How will you implement the same? How many flip flops will be complemented in a
10 bit binary counter to reach the next count after 1001100111?
ANSWER:
A register that goes through a predetermined sequence of states upon the application of input
pulses is called a counter. The input pulses may be clock pulses or may originate from an external
source. They may occur at uniform interval of time or at random. Counter are found in almost all
equipment containing digital logic. They are used for counting the no. of occurrence of an event
and are useful for generating timing signals to control the sequence of operations in digital
computers.
Going through the sequence of binary no. such as 0000,0001,0010,0011 and so on, we note that
the lower-order bit is completed from one count to the next if and only if all its lower order bits are
equal to 1.for example binary count from 0111(7) to 1000(8) is obtained by
Question 3.What will happen if buffer gate in the clock input of the register is removed?
What is the role of clear and load signals in designing register with parallel load?
ANSWER:
BUFFER GATE:-
The buffer gate in the clock input reduces the power requirement from the clock generator .less
power is required when the clock is connected to only one input gate instead of power
consumption that four inputs would have required if the buffer will not used.
LOAD SIGNAL:-
The load input in the register determines the action to be taken with each clock pulse. When load
input is 1,the data in the four inputs are transferred into the register with the next positive
transition of a clock pulse. When the load input is 0, the data inputs are inhibited and the D inputs
of the flip-flop are connected to their outputs.
CLEAR SIGNAL:-
The clear signal goes to the special terminal in each flip-flop. When the input goes to 0, all flip-
flops are reset asynchronously. The clear input is useful for clearing the register to all zeros prior
to its clocked operation. The clear input must be maintained at logic 1 during normal clocked
operation. The clock signal enables the D input but that the clear input is independent of the clock.
Question 4.The content of a four bit register is initially 1101. The register is shifted six times
to the right with the serial input being 101101.what is the content of the register after each
shift?
ANSWER:
Question 5.Draw the block diagram to implement following register transfer statement
yT2:R2 R1, R1 R2
ANSWER:
This simultaneous operation is possible with registers that have edge-triggered flip-flops. The
registers are connected to each other and the signal from the AND-gate serves as LD (load)
signal.
Question 6.A digital computer has a common bus system for 16 registers of 32 bit each. The
bus is constructed with multiplexers.
