Fundamentals of
Digital Electronics
Introduction
Digital electronics is one of the fundamental courses found in all electrical
engineering and most science programs. The great variety of LabVIEW
Boolean and numeric controls/indicators, together with the wealth of
programming structures and functions, make LabVIEW an excellent tool to
visualize and demonstrate many of the fundamental concepts of digital
electronics. The inherent modularity of LabVIEW is exploited in the same
way that complex digital integrated circuits are built from circuits of less
complexity, which in turn are built from fundamental gates. This manual
is designed as a teaching resource to be used in the classroom as
demonstrations, in tutorial sessions as collaborative studies, or in the
laboratory as interactive exercises.
Lab 1
Gates
Gates are the fundamental building blocks of digital logic circuitry. These
devices function by “opening” or “closing” to admit or reject the passage of
a logical signal. From only a handful of basic gate types (AND, OR, XOR,
and NOT), a vast array of gating functions can be created.
