Boolean Algebra
A branch of algebra that deals with true/false values, using operators such as AND, OR, and NOT.
Combinational Circuits
Circuits whose outputs depend only on the current inputs. Examples include adders, multiplexers, and decoders.
Sequential Circuits
Circuits whose outputs depend on both current inputs and past states. Examples include flip-flops, registers, and counters.
Logic Minimization
The process of simplifying Boolean expressions or logic circuits while preserving functionality, often using Karnaugh Maps or the Quine-McCluskey method.
Number Representations
Methods to represent numbers in digital systems, such as binary, octal, decimal, hexadecimal, and signed representations (2’s complement, 1’s complement).
Computer Arithmetic
Techniques to perform arithmetic operations in digital systems, including fixed-point and floating-point representations.
