Last semester we looked at the complexities of digital logic, and how the careful use of mathematics can make a variety of cool circuits possible.\u00a0 Throughout last semester we used AOI, NAND, and NOR gate logic to build circuits that turned a variety of inputs (usually switches) into a variety of outputs (usually lights).<\/span><\/p>\n Here in this semester, we will continue with these ideas but limitour breadboarding to the use of those handy-dandy PLDs.\u00a0 As we build more complex circuits in this next unit, we\u2019ll look at some digital devices (IC chips) called Flip-Flops and how they can be used to make circuits that do neat new things.\u00a0 For example, the use of Flip-Flops can help us make circuits that wait for events to happen before an output gets triggered. In other ways, we\u2019ll be able to make circuits that can count for us in binary.\u00a0 As we look at these new ideas we\u2019ll cover the following topics:<\/span><\/p>\n As we jump into this unit, it\u2019ll be essential to take some detailed and careful notes.\u00a0 In each of these sections we\u2019ll be learning about new IC chips that take some serious effort to understand.\u00a0 Taking detailed notes will be essential!<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ module_id=”part1″ module_class=”tab-content” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”74px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _dynamic_attributes=”content” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#0c71c3″ text_font_size=”24px” header_font=”||||||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoiY3VzdG9tX21ldGFfcGFydF8xX25hbWUiLCJzZXR0aW5ncyI6eyJiZWZvcmUiOiJQYXJ0IDE6ICIsImFmdGVyIjoiIiwiZW5hYmxlX2h0bWwiOiJvZmYifX0=@[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/www.mrbenshoof.com\/Engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/FlipFlopReference.png” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”||5px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”||on||||||” text_line_height=”1em” text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”0px||” custom_padding=”0px||” text_text_align=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Flip Flop Reference<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The first part of this unit is all about a device called a \u201cFlip-Flop\u201d.\u00a0 In a way, the Flip-Flop is a chip that acts as a tiny memory unit that can keep track of (or \u2018remember\u2019) a single bit of information:\u00a0 just one \u201c1\u201d or \u201c0\u201d at a time. This simple component might seem trivial, but it makes some really cool things possible. By being able to remember a single piece of information, your circuit will be able to remember it\u2019s prior state. As an example, this will be essential when we try to keep track of previous values in a counter.<\/span><\/p>\n GRADING & PROCESS<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”||2px” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n
