Section 1-1 digital and analog quantities
1. Digital data can be transmitted and stored more efficiently and reliably than analog data. Also,
digital circuits are simpler to implement and there is a greater immunity to noisy environments.
2. Pressure is an analog quantity.
3. A clock, a thermometer, and a speedometer can have either an analog or a digital output.
Section 1-2 binary digits, logic levels, and digital waveforms
4. In positive logic, a1 is represented by a high level and a 0 by a low level. In negative logic, a 1
is represented by a low level, and a 0 by 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

7. see figure 1-2.
Ampl
= 10 V
tPW = 2.7 s
8. T = 4 ms. See figure 1-3.

9. F = 0.25 khz = 250 hz
= t 4 ms
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
% duty cycle = w 100 100 = 50%
t 4 ms
12. See figure 1-4.
