Unit 2.1.1
Term | Definition | Examples |
---|---|---|
Distributive Property | Distribution property of multiplication over addition. The property that allows us to distribute ("multiply through"). | The distributive property allows me to distribute 2(3*9) to get (2*3)*(2*9). |
Least Significant Bit | The rightmost but of a binary number. This bit has the number's smallest positional number. | -The least significant digit in 110101 is [][][][][]1 |
Logic Circuit | Any circuit that behaves according to a set of logic rules. | Controlling systems may use logic circuits. (Alarms, etc.) |
Logic Diagram | A diagram, similar to a schematic, showing the connection of logic gates. | In the logic diagram, AND gates and OR gates were used. |
Maxterm | A sum term in Boolean expression where all possible variables appear once in true or complement form. | |
Minterm | A product term in a Boolean expression where all possible variables appear once in true or complement form. | There were three Minterms that appeared on the table. |
Most Significant Bit | The leftmost bit in a binary number. This bit has the number's largest positional multiplier. | The most signigicant bit in 110101 is 1[][][][][] |
Product-of-Sums (POS) | A type of Boolean expression where several sum terms are multiplied (AND'ed) together. | Multiplication used (instead of adding in the SOP, it multiplies). |
Product Term | A type of Boolean expression where one or more true or complement variables | The product of the terms. |
Sum-of-products | A type of Boolean expression where several product terms are summed (OR'ed) together. | The SOP of the circuit is AC+AB+ABC |
Sum Term | A term in a Boolean expression where one or more true or complement variables are OR'ed | Sum of the terms. |
Truth Table | A list of all possible input values to a digital circuit, listed in ascending binary order, and the output response for each input combination. | I got the SOP expression from the outputs on the truth table. |
DeMorgan's Theorems | 1). Theorem stating that the complement of a sum (OR operation) equals the product (AND operation) of the complements. 2). Theorem stating that the complement of a product (AND operation) equals the sum (OR operation) of the complements. | The sum of values equal it's product. |
