Grading Policy

• There will be a COMMON PART in each major and the
  final which will account for at most 40 of the
  exam grade.
• WHY?
• To ensure fairness between sections and get a
  common average for all sections

  assignment.
• Will be collected on the designated dates.
• Solutions will be given in the next class.
• No submissions will be acceptable after the
  solutions have been discussed

9
Quizzes

Helpful Hints

• Read the textbook.
• Talk to each other.
• Talk to me.

13
Information

• Data -gt Information -gt Knowledge -gt Understanding
• A representation of knowledge
• Knowledge of a song vs. representation
• Can represent in two ways
• analog
• digital
• Digital is better
• computers manipulate digital information
• infinitely replicable
• networks can move bits efficiently

14
Information

• Common
• books
• bills
• CDs
• We can do better if we represent information as
  bits
• This is the heart of the Digital Revolution
• convert information as atoms to information as
  bits
• use networks to move bits around instead of atoms
  
• (What industries are affected?)

15
What do we need?

• Ways to represent all types of information as
  bits
• Ways to move lots of bits everywhere, cheaply,
  and with quality of service

16
Motivation

• Electronics an increasing part of our lives
• Computers the Internet
• Car electronics
• Robots
• Electrical Appliances
• Telephones
• Class covers digital logic design implementation

17
Example Car Electronics

• Brake Light (foot brake, parking brake)
• High-beam indicator (lights, high beam selected)

18
Example Car Electronics (cont.)

• Seat Belt Light (driver belt in)
• Seat Belt Light (driver belt in, passenger belt
  in, passenger present)

19
Digital vs. Analog
Analog values vary over a broad range
continuously
Digital only assumes discrete values
20
Advantages of Digital Circuits

• Analog systems slight error in input yields
  large error in output
• Digital systems more accurate and reliable
• Readily available as self-contained, easy to
  cascade building blocks
• Computers use digital circuits internally
• Interface circuits (i.e., sensors actuators)
  often analog

21
Binary/Boolean Logic
Two discrete values (TTL) yes, on, 5
volts, TRUE, "1" no, off, 0 volts, FALSE, "0"
Advantage of binary systems rigorous
mathematical foundation based on logic
both the door must be open and the car running
before I can back out
IF the garage door is open AND the car is
running THEN the car can be backed out of the
garage
IF passenger is in the car AND passenger belt is
in AND driver belt is in THEN we can turn off the
fasten seat belt light
the three preconditions must be true to imply the
conclusion

Things to do

• Review from your class notes what we discussed
  today.
• Number Systems
• Binary, octal and hexadecimal
• Read Section 1.2 of the textbook before coming to
  the class
