Reviewing Assessment #1:

PSAs:

  • Class did pretty good overall
  • Same thing happened last year, 2nd assessment did NOT go as well.

Min terms are 1
Max terms are 0

  1. Solving the Karnaugh map, self explanatory

  2. Compare two functions, prove their identical / different using a truth table or Karnaugh map.
    He makes the note that u can use the tables on the back, just make a note of it.

  3. CMOS, the gate is NAND
    I don’t understand it really, i just memorized :(

  • Only path is that both of them have to be activated, then it deactivates
  • He says that only path is that both of them have to be activated to make a path to ground.
  1. 5 words long question
    “As you shrink everything and keep power the same, then the power density goes up”

  2. Parity pattern
    Odd parity means sum of 1 has to be odd, and parity bit makes it odd
    Even parity is the opposite

  3. Minimum Hamming Distance
    To detect double errors, you need to change 4 bits between code words
    To correct double errors, you need to change 5 bits

ABB
Detect double errorsxxxxx
Correct double errosxxxxxx
  • If you do any less, you confuse errors from A with errors from B
  1. Minimum SOP expression

  2. Using the MUX
    11 - or 0
    10 - 1
    01 - B
    00 - B or 1

  3. Adder with subtraction
    Add A with not B with the subtraction is on.

  • Either not B with a 2-MUX, or XOR it
  1. Label the components, draw connections

  2. Label the times to execute

  3. Worst case time for the adder

  4. Draw the connections and inputs to the carry lookahead

  5. Write the equation for the carry out of Cell2 in the ALU in terms of Ps and Gs. The equation must not have any parenthesis

  6. Worst case time to create Out0? Out2?
    Generating:

  • Carry Lookahead (CL) takes 12
  • Gs takes 7
  • Ps takes 5
