- 2. IS 151 Digital Circuitry 2 Digital Waveforms – Consist of voltage levels that change back and forth between the HIGH and LOW states – Positive-going pulse – generated when the voltage goes from LOW level to HIGH level and back to LOW level – Negative-going pulse – generated when the voltage goes from HIGH level to LOW level and back to HIGH level – A digital wave from is made-up of a series of pulses

- 4. IS 151 Digital Circuitry 4 Digital Waveforms – Pulse characteristics • Leading edge (occurs first at t = 0) • Trailing edge (occurs last at t = 1) • Positive-going pulse: Leading edge is a rising edge and trailing edge is falling edge • Negative-going pulse: Leading edged is falling edge and trailing edge is rising edge

- 6. IS 151 Digital Circuitry 6 Digital Waveforms – Pulse parameters • Rise time (tr) – is the time required for a pulse to go from its LOW to HIGH level (measured 10% to 90% of the pulse amplitude) • Fall time (tf) – is the time required for the transition from the HIGH to LOW level (measured 90% to 10% of the pulse amplitude) • Pulse amplitude – height of the pulse from baseline • Pulse width (tw) – duration of the pulse (defined as the time interval between the 50% points on the rising and falling edges)
- 7. IS 151 Digital Circuitry 7 Digital Waveforms – Waveform characteristics • Most waveforms are composed of a series of pulses (pulse trains) • Pulses can be either – periodic – repeats itself at a fixed interval called a period (T)). » The frequency, f, is the rate at which it repeats itself and is measured in Hertz (H) – non-periodic – does not repeat itself at fixed intervals and may be composed of pulses of different pulse widths.
- 8. IS 151 Digital Circuitry 8 Digital Waveforms • Frequency of a pulse, f, is the reciprocal of its period, T. – f = 1/T – T = 1/f • Duty cycle – the ratio of the pulse width (tw) to the period (T), expressed as a percentage – Duty Cycle = (tw/T)x100%

- 11. IS 151 Digital Circuitry 11 Timing Diagrams • Many digital waveforms are synchronized with a basic timing waveform called the clock. • The clock is a periodic waveform in which each interval between pulses equals one bit time. • Example: • Diagram: Clock waveform: page 8

- 13. IS 151 Digital Circuitry 13 Timing Diagrams • Each change in the level of waveform A occurs at the rising edge of the clock waveform. • In other cases, the change occurs at the trailing edge of the clock. • During each bit time of the clock, waveform A is either HIGH or LOW, which represent a sequence of bits
