IOL

What is the difference between the sign-magnitude and 2's-complement systems of representing signed binary numbers?

In the signed-magnitude system all numbers, regardless of their sign, are in straight binary format preceded by a "0" or "1" to denote the sign. In the 2's complement system, the negative numbers are entered in the 2's-complement form preceded by a "1" to acknowledge a negative number whereas positive numbers are entered in straight binary format preceded by a "0" to indicate the sign.

The acronym ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information ________.

Interchange

Digital quantities have values that are specified as 1 or 0, HIGH or LOW, etc. The voltage values associated with these digital quantities fall within specified limits. On the other hand, analog values for physical process control may be any value over a wide range of values, with each different value having a different meaning. As a result:

digital computers that monitor or control analog physical values must have an accurate means of transforming analog data to meaningful digital data and vice-versa.

The combination of Q = 1 and = 0 defines the:

flip-flop set state.

One of the major drawbacks to use of asynchronous counters is:

high frequency applications are limited because of internal propagation delays.

An identification number of 74HCT would identify the series as a:

high-speed CMOS that can be directly driven by TTL.

The quantization error in an analog-to-digital converter can be reduced by:

increasing the number of bits in the counter and DAC.

The MOD number of a counter:

indicates the number of possible counter output states.

Shift registers that are identified as parallel in/parallel out, serial in/parallel out, etc. are defined in this manner because:

it indicates the manner in which data can be entered into the register for storage and the manner in which data are outputted from the register.

The decimal number system is NOT used in digital systems because:

it is difficult to design electronic equipment that will recognize ten different voltage levels.

The chief disadvantage of MOS technology is:

it is subject to static electricity damage.

The DC high-state noise margin is the difference between the:

lowest possible HIGH output and the minimum input voltage required for a HIGH.

A quantitative measure of noise immunity is called noise ________.

margin

The circuit property of retaining its response to a momentary input is called ________.

memory

The goal in grouping K-map squares is to use the ________ number of loops.

minimum

A major advantage of the synchronous counter over the nonsynchronous counter is its ability to:

operate at higher frequencies.

When multiplying numbers in the 2's-complement system, the product's sign is:

positive if the signs of the multiplier and the multiplicand are the same.

A set of instructions that tell a computer exactly what to do is called a(n):

program

The parallel transmission of digital data:

requires as many signal lines between sender and receiver as there are data bits.

The resolution of a DAC is always equal to the weight of the LSB and is also referred to as the ________.

step size

One advantage of using the 2's-complement system to represent signed numbers is:

subtraction can be accomplished by performing addition.

A ________ expression consists of two or more AND terms that are ORed together.

sum-of-products

Digital representations of numerical quantities may BEST be described as having characteristics:

that vary in discrete steps in proportion to the values they represent.

The main difference between an SN7402 and an SN5402 would be:

the SN5402 is able to operate over a wider range of temperatures and power supply voltages.

Synchronous (parallel) counters do not experience the delay problems encountered with asynchronous (ripple) counters because:

the input clock pulses are applied simultaneously to each stage.

Actual circuit implementation of the sum-of-products expression for Table 4-1 would require (as a minimum):

three 3-input AND gates, one 3-input OR gate, and three inverters.

A primary difference between a clocked J-K flip-flop and a clocked S-C flip-flop is the J-K's ability to:

toggle or change states when J = 1, K = 1, and a clock transition occurs.

Looping on a K-map always results in the elimination of:

variables within the loop that appear in both complemented and uncomplemented form.
