Digital Systems Chapter-1 Digital systems are assemblies of components-primarily electronic hardware and software-designed to generate, process, store, and transmit information in digital (discrete) form, most commonly as binary data (0s and 1s). Unlike analog systems, which handle continuous signals, digital systems work with signals that have a finite set of discrete values, enabling more reliable and accurate data manipulation. Key Principles and Components Binary Representation: At the core of digital systems is binary logic, where information is encoded as sequences of 0s and 1s. This binary approach underpins all data storage, processing, and communication in digital devices. Hardware: Microprocessors and Integrated Circuits: These are the "brains" of digital systems, executing instructions and performing calculations. Memory (RAM/ROM): Stores data temporarily or permanently. Input/Output Devices: Enable ...
