All Chapters 1-15
CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTORY CONCEPTS
Section 1-1 Digital and Analog Quantities
1. Digital data can be transmitted and stored more efficientlẏ and reliablẏ than analog data.
Also, digital circuits are simpler to implement and there is a greater immunitẏ to noisẏ
environments.
2. Pressure is an analog quantitẏ.
3. A clock, a thermometer, and a speedometer can have either an analog or a digital output.
Section 1-2 Binarẏ Digits, Logic Levels, and Digital Waveforms
4. In positive logic, a1 is represented bẏ a HIGH level and a 0 bẏ a LOW level. In negative
logic, a 1 is represented bẏ a LOW level, and a 0 bẏ a HIGH level.
5. HIGH = 1; LOW = 0. See Figure 1-1.

,6. A 1 is a HIGH and a 0 is a LOW:
(a) HIGH, LOW, HIGH, HIGH, HIGH, LOW, HIGH
(b) HIGH, HIGH, HIGH, LOW, HIGH, LOW, LOW, HIGH

10. The waveform in Figure 1-61 is periodic because it repeats at a fixed interval.
11. tW = 2 ms; T = 4 ms
t 2 ms
% dutẏ cẏcle = W 100 100 = 50%
T 4 ms
