Preface
Digital technology pervades almost everything in our daily lives. For example, cell phones and other types of wireless communications, laptops, television, radio, process controls, automotive electronics, consumer electronics, and aircraft navigation, to name only a few applications that depend heavily on digital electronics. A strong grounding in the fundamentals of digital technology will prepare you for the highly skilled jobs of the future. Understanding the core fundamentals is very important since it enables you to go anywhere. This book can be used as a laboratory manual for any standard textbook on digital electronics. You can make the circuits on breadboard or you can use a simulation software like Proteus® to simulate the circuits. This book is composed of 11 chapters. Here is a brief summary of each chapter: Chapter 1 is an Introduction to Digital Systems. Chapter 2 contains experiments related to Logic Gates and Combinational Logic Circuits. Chapter 3 contains experiments related to Digital Arithmetic. Chapter 4 contains experiments related to Multiplexers and De-multiplexers. Chapter 5 contains experiments related to Encoders and Decoders. Chapter 6 contains experiments related to Display Information on Seven Segments. Chapter 7 contains experiments related to Latches, Flip Flops and Shift Registers. Chapter 8 contains experiments related to Frequency Division with Flip Flops. Chapter 9 contains experiments related to Counter Circuits. Chapter 10 contains experiments related to Oscillator Circuits. Chapter 11 contains experiments related to Analog-to-Digital and Digital-to-Analog Conversion. I hope that this book will be useful to the readers, and I welcome comments on the book.

An Introduction to Digital Systems
1.1
Introduction
A digital signal is a signal that represents data as a sequence of binary values. In each instant of time the signal can take only one of the two values. The allowed two values are called high and low or 1 and 0. A digital system is a system which works with digital signals. This chapter introduces the basic concepts of digital systems.
1.2
Logic Technologies
Small and medium scale (SSI and MSI) Logic IC families are currently made in a wide range of sub-families and a variety of package types, using three basically different technologies: (A) TTL (Transistor Transistor Logic) (B) CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) (C) ECL (Emitter Coupled Logic).
1.3
Transistor Transistor Logic (TTL)
TTL gates use a 5 V (±0.25 V) supply, and are capable of high-speed operation. Over 600 different logic ICs are available, covering a very wide range of digital functions. Due to the use of bipolar transistors, TTL has much higher power consumption than similar

CMOS types, when working at relatively low frequencies. As the frequency of signals handled increases however, this difference decreases as the power consumption of CMOS increases and TTL power consumption remains nearly constant. TTL has various subfamilies: Bipolar TTL families, CMOS and BiCMOS families, Low-Voltage CMOS and BiCMOS families, Very-Low-Voltage CMOS families and Limited families for special applications. Table 1.1 introduces the Bipolar TTL family. The headings in Table 1.1 are: VCC— power supply voltage; tpd—maximum gate delay; IOL—maximum output current at low level; IOH—maximum output current at high level.

Newer TTL series, more or less compatible in function and logic level with the original parts, use CMOS technology or a combination of the two (BiCMOS). An integrated circuit made in CMOS is not a TTL chip, since it uses field-effect transistors (FET) and not bipolar junction transistors (BJT), but similar part numbers are retained to identify similar logic functions and electrical (power and I/O voltage) compatibility in the different subfamilies.

TTL ICs start with 74 can work in 0 °C up to 70 °C. ICs start with 54 can work in − 55 °C up to +125 °C. For most applications the 74 series is perfectly acceptable and this series will be found in consumer devices. VCC for 54 series can have a 10% tolerance, i.e., 5 V ± 10%. Most (but not all!) of the TTL ICs have the GND and VCC pins in the left bottom and right top pins (Fig. 1.1). Fig. 1.1 Common position of VCC and ground pins
The power pins (i.e., VCC and ground pins) are not shown in the schematics of this book. Keep this point in mind and connect the power pins of the ICs to the power supply when you want to make the circuits in the laboratory. The experiments of this book can be done with all of the families shown in Tables 1.1 and 1.2. For instance, you can use 74LS04, 74HC04 or 74HCT04 to do the experiments.

Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS)
CMOS ICs can operate from a wide range of supply voltages (typically 3–18 V, and lower with some sub families), with very low power consumption. The name CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) is used because opposite types, both P type and N type MOSFETs are used in the construction of these gates. The 4000 series is a CMOS logic family of ICs first introduced in 1968 by Radio Corporation of America (RCA). Some of the commonly used CMOS ICs are shown in Table 1.3.

CMOS ICs have extremely thin insulating layer. This makes thm hypersensitive to electrostatic charge. Specifically, discrete CMOS components or ICs in or out of a circuit board can be destroyed by a sufficiently high static charge reaching one of their terminals. CMOS logic has a very high input impedance, any open input might result in a false output value due to the influence of a surrounding electric field. Because of this, all unused inputs of a CMOS IC should be tied to either VDD or GND (Fig. 1.2).

Fig. 1.2 Unused input pins must be tied to ground or VDD
1.5
Emitter Coupled Logic (ECL)
ECL is a high-speed integrated circuit bipolar transistor logic family. In ECL, the transistors are never in saturation, the input and output voltages have a small swing (0.8 V), the input impedance is high and the output impedance is low. As a result, the transistors change states quickly, gate delays are low, and the fanout capability is high. In addition, the essentially constant current draw of the differential amplifiers minimizes delays and glitches due to supply-line inductance and capacitance, and the complementary outputs decrease the propagation time of the whole circuit by reducing inverter count. ECL’s major disadvantage is that each gate continuously draws current, which means that it requires (and dissipates) significantly more power than those of other logic families, especially when quiescent.

Pin Numbering
Most of IC vendors show the first pin of the IC with a small circle. Figures 1.3 and 1.4 show how IC pins are numbered.

CMOS and TTL Logic Levels
Logic levels are represented by different voltages. For CMOS ICs low logic level is defined as 0 V to 30% of VCC and high level is defined as 70% VDD to VDD. VDD shows the supply voltage. Standard 5 V TTL logic levels are shown in Fig. 1.5.

VOH: Minimum output voltage level a TTL device will provide for a high signal, VIH: Minimum input voltage level to be considered a high, VOL: Maximum output voltage level a device will provide for a low signal, VIL: Maximum input voltage level to still be considered a low.

The simple circuits shown in Fig. 1.8 can be used to generate high and low signals. In Fig. 1.8a, the output is normally at low logic level. When the push button is pressed, a high logic level is generated. In Fig. 1.8b, the output is normally at high logic level. When the push button is pressed, a low logic level is generated.

In Fig. 1.9 an LED is added to the circuit to show the status of the output. The LED turns on when the output is high. Fig. 1.9 The LED turns on when the push button is pressed
You can use a Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) switch to generate a high and low signals (Fig. 1.10). In Fig. 1.10 the output is high when the switch is at position A and is low when the switch is at position B. Fig. 1.10 High and low signal generation with SPDT

De-bouncing

Bouncing Problem
Bouncing problem is common problem of mechanical buttons and switches. Let’s study a simple example to understand the nature of the bouncing problem. Consider the switch shown in Fig. 1.11. In this figure the output is normally at 0 V. When you press the push button, the output goes toward 5 V. However, some fluctuations happen before settling on the final 5 V value. The fluctuations are generated by the metal contacts of the switch. Digital circuits sense the fluctuations as several press to the push button. In other words, the user presses the button once, but bouncing cause the digital system connected to the button consider it several times. All of the circuits studied in Sect. 1.9 suffer from the bouncing problem. Next section suggests some solutions to the bouncing problem.
Fig. 1.11 Bouncing problem
1.11
De-bouncing
De-bouncing is removing unwanted input noise from mechanical buttons and switches. Figures 1.12 and 1.13 suggests two circuits to de-bounce the push buttons. In Fig. 1.12, the output is normally at low level, when the push button is pressed it becomes high. In Fig. 1.13, the output is normally at high level, when the push button is pressed it becomes low.

The diodes in Figs. 1.12 and 1.13 are optional. You can remove it and obtain a simpler circuit. For instance, if we remove the diode from Fig. 1.12, the circuit shown in Fig. 1.14 is obtained. Fig. 1.14 RC de-bouncing without diode

The MC14043/14044 chips consist of four SR flip flops, so might be an attractive solution for de-bouncing multiple switches. Internal structure of MC14043 and MC14044 are shown in Figs. 1.17 and 1.18, respectively. Fig. 1.17 Internal structure of MC14043B

Another way to de-bounce switches in hardware is to take advantage of applicationspecific integrated circuits. Semiconductor manufacturers such as Maxim Integrated offer switch de-bouncers like the MAX6816 in very small packages, with built-in ESD protection. Although they are extremely easy to use, they are more expensive and offer less flexibility and customization than designing your own RC filter.
1.12
Output Status Monitoring
Status of an output can be shown with the simple circuit shown in Fig. 1.19. When the LED turns on the output is high.

You can use the circuit shown in Fig. 1.20 as well. When the output is high, the green LED turns on. When the output is low, the red LED turns on. Fig. 1.20 Output monitoring with two different color LEDs
Logic probes (Fig. 1.21) can be used to see an output is high or low. Just connect the black wire of the logic probe to the circuit under test ground and connect the tip pf the probe to the output that you want. The logic probe’s LED’s show the status of the output. Logic probes can be used to generate pulses as well. Pulse generation is quite useful during the circuit troubleshooting.

Digital circuits implemented with TTL ICs require a regulated 5 V supply. You can use a 7805 linear voltage regulator for this purpose. Pinout of 7805 is shown in Fig. 1.25. Fig. 1.25 Pinout of 7805 voltage regulator IC
The circuit shown in Fig. 1.26 shows how to make a 5 V regulated power supply.

You can convert the generated +5 V to −5 V with the aid of TL7660 CMOS voltage converter. Purely digital circuits don’t require negative voltages to work. However, if you are working with a mixed signal circuits (i.e., circuits which have both analog and digital parts) then having negative voltages may be necessary.
1.15
Open Collector Gates
Consider the circuit shown in Fig. 1.27. The collector pin is not connected to anywhere. Therefore, no current can pass from the transistor. Fig. 1.27 Collector terminal is left open
Now assume that we added a resistor between VCC and collector as shown in Fig. 1.28. In this case the circuit is completed and current can pass from the transistor. In this circuit the output voltage takes VCC − RC IC and 0 based on the status of the transistor. The resistor RC in Fig. 1.28 is called pull-up resistor.

Open Collector Gates
21
Fig. 1.28 Collector terminal is connected to VCC using a pull-up resistor
Some ICs have an output stage like the one shown in Fig. 1.27. Such an output is called open collector output. Open collector outputs require a pull-up resistor to work correctly. Output stage of ICs implemented in CMOS technology is made from field effect transistors. Sometimes the output stage transistor’s drain is left open. Such an output stage is called open drain output. Open drain outputs require pull-up resistors to work properly. Let’s study an example. 78HC05 provides 6 independent inverters with open drain outputs. Consider the circuit shown in Fig. 1.29. Fig. 1.29 A simple circuit to test 7405 open drain NOT gate

In Figs. 1.30 and 1.31 low and high signals are applied to the input, respectively. However, the voltmeter shows 0 V in both cases, which is not expected correct response. Fig. 1.30 Output is low when input is low
Fig. 1.31 Output is high when input is high
In Figs. 1.30 and 1.31 wrong result is obtained since pull-up resistor in not used. Let’s connect a 10 ku resistor between the output of the gate and positive voltage rail (Fig. 1.32).

In this section you will measure the lower and upper trigger points without oscilloscope. Make the circuit shown in Fig. 2.18. Fig. 2.18 Measurement of A and B with potentiometer
Turn the potentiometer knob until you read a small voltage (around 0 V) on the voltmeter. In this case the green LED (D2) turns on.

Measurement of Output Impedance of Gates in High State
This section shows how to measure the output impedance (resistance) of gates when output is in high state (i.e., +5 V). Simple model of the gate is shown in Fig. 2.25.

Input of the NOT gate is connected to +5 V, therefore, the output of the gate is in low state. Simplified model of this circuit is shown in Fig. 2.30. RO’ shows the output impedance of the gate in output low state.

Connecting a Relay to Logic Gates
You can connect a relay to output of the gates to turn on and off a load which requires a high current. For instance, in Fig. 2.33 a relay is connected to the output of a 7404 NOT gate. RB is the external resistor which set the base current. D1 is free-wheeling diode and protects the transistor Q1 against the high voltage spikes that relay coil generates when it turns off. Vrelay is a separate voltage source that supply the relay. Fig. 2.33 Connecting a relay to a gate
Simple equivalent circuit model of Fig. 2.33 is shown in Figs. 2.34 and 2.35.

Fig. 2.34 Model for high output
Fig. 2.35 Model for low output
Let’s study an example. Assume that you have a 12 V relay which require 150 mA of current to be activated. In this case resistance of the coil (Rrelay in Figs. 2.34 and 2.35) is 12/0.15 = 80 y and Vrelay = 24 V. RB is determined with respect to Fig. 2.34. According to BC 107 datasheet, minimum current gain is around 110. Let’s be conservative and take the minimum current gain as 75. The transistor Q1 must be in saturation when the output C + of the NOT gate is high. Let’s write the KVL for Fig. 2.34: −5 + (R O + R B) × βImin

75 − R O. For R O = 150y, R B = 4.3 × 150m 0.7 = 0 ⇒ R B = 4.3 × βImin A − 150 = 2 ky. C When R B is less than 2 ky, the transistor in Fig. 2.34 saturates and relay is activated. In Fig. 2.35 the transistor is off for all values of R B. Therefore, it doesn’t apply any limitation on value of R B.

You can use the schematic shown in Fig. 2.36 to make a simple logic analyzer. When the probe P is connected to a high node, the green LED turns on. When the probe P is connected to a low node, the red LED turns on. Note that the ground of logic analyzer must be connected to the ground of circuit under test (Fig. 2.37).

Buffer ICs
A buffer circuit is a circuit which isolate an input from an output. Input of the buffer circuit draws a very small negligible amount of current. In other words, the input of the buffer circuit does not load the circuit which it is connected to. Symbol and simple model of a buffer is shown in Fig. 2.38. When input is high, switch is in position H and when input is low it is in the position L. In other words, the logic state of output equals to the logic state of input. You will study the behavior of a buffer IC in this experiment.

7407 is a hex buffer IC. Output of buffers are open collector therefore you need external pull-up resistors when you use this IC. Pinout of this IC is shown in Fig. 2.39. The maximum voltages that can be applied to VCC pin and inputs of buffers are 7 V and 5.5 V, respectively. Fig. 2.39 Pinout of 7407

Note that resistor R2 in Fig. 2.40 is the pull-up resistor and its presence is necessary for correct operation of the circuit. In other words, a circuit like the one shown in Fig. 2.41 doesn’t work correctly. The pull-up resistor can be connected to voltages bigger than 5 V as well. In 7407, the pull-up resistor can be connected to any positive voltage less than 30 V. Let’s change the pull-up resistor voltage and observe the behavior of the circuit. Connect the pull-up resistor to 10 V supply (Fig. 2.42) and fill the Table 2.6. Fig. 2.42 Pull-up resistor is connected to 10 V

Case When push button is pressed (input voltage = 5 V) When push button is not pressed (input voltage = 0 V)
2.11
Bus Transceiver ICs
Previous experiment studied the behavior of buffer circuits. Output of the buffer gates can’t be tied together. Let’s see why? For instance, consider the circuit shown in Fig. 2.43. In this case we have a single wire and two data sources. We want to use this single wire to transfer the two sources data. When both sources generate the same data (i.e., when output of both buffers have the same logic level) no trouble exists. However, when one source generates high and the other one generates low, a short circuit happens in the output. Therefore, output of normal two state buffers can’t be tied together.
48

Fig. 2.43 Outputs are connected to each other
You can use tri-state buffers to transfer data on a shared data bus without the risk of generating short circuit. Symbol and simplified model of a tri-state buffer is shown in Fig. 2.44. When input is high the switch S1 is in the H position. When input is low the switch S1 is in the L position. Switch S2 is controlled with Enable pin. When Enable Fig. 2.44 Symbol and simple model of a three state buffer gate
2.11

pin is low the switch S2 is open and the tri-state buffer is in the high impedance (open circuit) mode. Therefore, the tri-state buffer’s output can take three different states: High state, low state and high impedance state. Output of tri-state buffers can be connected to each other without the risk of generating short circuit. 74245 is an octal (=eight) bus transceiver with three state buffers. Pin out of this IC is shown in Fig. 2.45. The data can be transferred from Ai to Bi pin or from Bi to Ai pin (i = 0, 1, 2, …, 7).
Fig. 2.45 Pinout of 74245
Figures 2.46 and 2.47 show how to transfer data from the bus to the device and from the device to the bus. Note that the pin 1 determines the direction of data transfer. Fig. 2.46 Transfer of data from the data bus to the device

Fig. 2.47 Transfer of data from the device to the data bus
When Chip Enable (pin 19) is high (Figs. 2.48 and 2.49), the IC is in the highimpedance mode and no data transfer happens. For instance, in Fig. 2.50, the upper 74245 is active and the device connected to its Ai pins receives data from the data bus. But the lower 74245 is disabled and no data transfer happens. Let’s summarize: C E and AB/B A pins permits you to determine which device speaks or listens to the bus. Fig. 2.48 C E pin is high and the IC is in the high impedance mode

Assume that you want to make a clock pulse from attenuated version of grid voltage. In this case you need to convert the attenuated sine voltage into a square wave. Conversion of a sine wave to square wave can be done with the aid of circuit shown in Fig. 2.74. RS shows the output impedance of the signal generator V1. Diode D1 and D2 protects the Op Amp against high voltages.

Assume that we want to add A = 1000 to B = 0111 with input carry of Cin = 0. Using binary addition, we expect 1000 + 0111 + 0 = 0 1111. In this case output carry (cout) is zero. Let’s see whether the 7483 generates the same result. The circuit shown in Fig. 3.4 adds A = 1000 to B = 0111 with input carry of Cin = 0. In this Fig. 3.1 means connecting to +5 V and 0 means connecting to ground. Make the circuit and see whether it generates the expected result.

Now assume that we want to add A = 1000 to B = 0111 with input carry of Cin = 1. Using binary addition, we expect 1000 + 0111 + 1 = 1 0000. In this case output carry is 1. The circuit shown in Fig. 3.5 adds A = 1000 to B = 0111 with input carry of Cin = 1. Similar to the previous figure, 1 means connecting to +5 V and 0 means connecting to ground.

Outputs are taken from Si (i = 1, 2, 3, 4) and B2 (or B3) pins. Assume that we want to add two BCD numbers A = 1000 to B = 1000. In this case A = B = 8 and A + B = 16. Therefore, we expect the circuit to set the output carry and generate (6)10 = (0101)2 on S4, S3, S2 and S1 outputs. The circuit shown in Fig. 3.8 adds to BCD number A = 1000 and B = 1000 together.

Multiplexer and De-multiplexer
4.1
Introduction
Multiplexer (or Mux) is a device that selects between several digital (or analog) input signals and forwards the selected input to a single output line. The selection is directed by a separate set of digital inputs known as select lines. A multiplexer makes it possible for several input signals to share one device or resource, for example, one analog-to-digital converter or one communications transmission medium, instead of having one device per input signal. Multiplexers can also be used to implement Boolean functions of multiple variables. Conversely, a de-multiplexer (or Demux) is a device taking a single input and selecting signals of the output of the compatible mux, which is connected to the single input, and a shared selection line. A multiplexer is often used with a complementary demultiplexer on the receiving end. This chapter studies the multiplexer and demultiplexers.

The CD405xB is a CMOS single channel analog multiplexer or de-multiplexer. Functional diagram and pinout of this IC are shown in Figs. 4.13 and 4.14, respectively. Position of switches shown in Fig. 4.13 is controlled by pins A, B and C pins. For instance, in CD4053B when INH = 0 and A = 0, ax OR ay pin (pin 14) is connected to the ax pin (pin 12). When INH = 0 and A = 1, ax OR ay pin is connected to the ay pin (pin 13). When INH = 1, no connection exists between ax OR ay pin and ax or ay pins.

Analog Switch
4016 is a CMOS quad bilateral switch. You likely find the IC 4016 marked as CD 4016, NTE 4016, MC 14,016, HCF 4016, TC 4016, or HEF 4016. The 4066 is pin-compatible with the 4016, but has a significantly lower on impedance and more constant on resistance over the full range of input voltage. Therefore, the 4066 is preferable to the 4016 in most cases. Pinout of 4016 is shown in Fig. 4.23. The on resistance of 4066 switches is around 125 y. Fig. 4.23 Pinout of 4016/4066
The circuit shown in Fig. 4.24 is a simple test circuit for 4016 or 4066 IC. Pin 13 is connected to ground through resistor R2. When you close the switch S1, pin 13 becomes high and closes the analog switch between pin 1 and 2. This turns on the LED. Make the circuit shown in Fig. 4.24 and ensure that it works as expected.

Digitally Controlled Voltage Gain
4016 (or 4066) can be used to make variable gain amplifiers. Let’s see how. Consider the simple inverting amplifier shown in Fig. 4.25. Voltage gain of this amplifier is A = Rf Vout Vin = − R1 . Gain of this amplifier is constant since R f and R1 are constant.
102
4 Multiplexer and De-multiplexer
Fig. 4.25 Inverting amplifier
Now consider the schematic shown in Fig. 4.26. Assume that switch A is closed and R = − R1f . If switches other switches are open. In this case the gain of amplifier is A1 = VVout in R
f A and B are closed and other switches are open, the gain changes to A2 = VVout = − R1 ||R . in 2 By selection of different values for R1 , R2 , R3 and R4 we can obtain up to 16 different gains. Role of the switch in Fig. 4.26 can be played by 4016 or 4066 IC.
Fig. 4.26 Different gains can be obtained with the aid of switches
The circuit shown in Fig. 4.27 used the simple idea explained above to make a variable gain amplifier. Gain of the amplifier changes by opening or closing the switches SW1, SW2, SW3 and SW4. Make the circuit and compare the measured gains with values predicted by theory. Use a sine wave with frequency of 1 kHz and peak-to-peak value of 200 mV as input.

Encoder and Decoder
5.1
Introduction
An encoder is a combinational circuit that converts binary information in the form of a 2n input lines into n output lines, which represent n bit code for the input. For simple encoders, it is assumed that only one input line is active at a time. A priority encoder is an encoder circuit in which inputs are given priorities. When more than one inputs are active at the same time, the input with higher priority takes precedence and the output corresponding to that is generated. A decoder is a combinational logic circuit that converts binary information from the n coded inputs to a maximum of 2n unique outputs. This chapter studies the encoders and decoders.

Decimal to Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) Priority Encoder
74147 can be used to encode 10-line decimal to 4-line BCD. Pinout of this IC is shown in Fig. 5.1. Pin 15 has no function and just increase the number of pins to 16. Increase the number of pins to 16 permits the manufacturer to divide the pins into two equal groups and place them in two sides of the IC. This experiment studies the 74147 IC.

The 74147 IC can be used to read a keypad. The circuit shown in Fig. 5.4 used a 74147 IC to generate a BCD code (generated code depends on the pressed button) and used a 7447 IC to show the generated BCD code on a common anode seven segment display. Make the circuit shown in Fig. 5.4 and test it. Explain how the circuit works in detail. You can use a 74C922 (or 74C923) to read a keypad as well. The 74C922 is a 16 key to binary encoder. This IC is responsible for debouncing the keypad and encoding the keypad data. The 74C922 also has a data available line (DA in Fig. 5.5), which goes high whenever a key is pressed on the keypad. This can be used to signal when data is ready for the UART. Output of this IC is taken from A, B, C and D pins.

Let’s see what Lamp Test (LT) pin does for us. When LT push button is pressed, pin 3 is connected to ground and all of the segments are turned on despite of the data entered to pins 6, 2, 1 and 7. This helps you to test the 7-segment and see whether all of the segments works. Study the datasheet of the IC to see what is the purpose of B I /R B O and R B I pins.

Latch, Flip Flop and Shift Register
7.1
Introduction
Latches and flip flops are circuits that have two stable states that can store state information. Flip flops have clock input and change state on the clock pulse rising or falling edges. Therefore, flip flop is an edge triggered device. Latches have no clock pulse input and are level triggered devices. A Flip flop or a latch can be used to store one bit of data. A shift register is a type of digital circuit using a cascade of flip-flops where the output of one flip-flop is connected to the input of the next. They share a single clock signal, which causes the data stored in the system to shift from one location to the next. A shift register can shift the bits either to the left or to the right. Shift registers can have both parallel and serial inputs and outputs. These are often configured as “serial-in, parallel-out” (SIPO) or as “parallel-in, serial-out” (PISO). There are also types that have both serial and parallel input and types with serial and parallel output. There are also “bidirectional” shift registers, which allow shifting in both directions: L → R or R → L. The serial input and last output of a shift register can also be connected to create a “circular shift register”. This chapter studies the latches, flip flops and shift registers.

7 Latch, Flip Flop and Shift Register
Fig. 7.25 De-bouncing with active low SR latch (Fig. 7.23)
Let’s study one of these circuits and see how it works. For instance, consider the circuit shown in Fig. 7.26. Assume that we put the SPDT switch in the position 2. In this case the output is high (Fig. 7.26). Now the bounce problem causes the pole of the switch to be float (Fig. 7.27). In this case the R = S = 1 and the latch is in the no change mode. Therefore, the latch holds the high output and the bounce problem can’t make any change in the output. Fig. 7.26 Switch is in the position 2

When O E pin (pin 1) is low and L E pin (pin 11) is high, the IC is in the transparent mode (i.e., On = Dn where n = 0, 1, 2, . . . , 7). When O E and L E pins are low, the IC latches the data. When L E pin (pin 11) is high (status of L E pin is not important in this case), the IC is in the high impedance mode and there is no connection between outputs On and outputs of flip flops.

Shift Registers
Register in digital electronics stores binary numbers. It is a collection of flip-flops which stores digital data as binary numbers. One flip-flop can store 1-bit data. In shift registers always D flip-flop is used. A shift register, as name suggests, shifts data (numbers) which is stored in flip-flops at every clock pulse. It has one or more input(s) depending upon type of input. It can be one in serial input and more than one in parallel input. Just like input, it can be one or more output(s) depending upon type of output. Depending on type of input and output, there are four types of shift register: (A) (B) (C) (D)
Serial input serial output (SISO) Serial input parallel output (SIPO) Parallel input serial output (PISO) Parallel input parallel output (SISO).
A “Universal” shift register is a special type of register that can load the data in a parallel way and shift that data in both directions, i.e., right and left. Shift registers are used for: Serial to parallel or parallel to serial data conversion, shift data to left/right, store data and increase the number of input/output pins of any microcontroller. Some of the famous shift registers are: 74164 (8-bit SIPO shift register), 74595 (8-bit SIPO shift register), 74194 (4-bit universal shift register) and 74323 (8-bit universal shift register).

Counter Circuits
9.1
Introduction
Counter is a logic circuit made up of a series of flip-flops that are used to count the number of inputs in the form of negative or positive edge transitions. The counter is classified into synchronous and asynchronous counters. The difference between the synchronous and asynchronous counter can be identified according to the flip-flops that are triggered. A Synchronous counter is the counter in which the clock input with all the flip-flops uses the same source and produces the output at the same time. If the flip-flops do not receive the same clock signal, then that counter is called as Asynchronous counter. In Asynchronous counters, the clock pulse is applied only to first flip-flop. The remaining flip-flops receive the clock signal from output of its previous stage flip-flop. The synchronous counter provides a more reliable circuit for counting purposes, and for high-speed operation, as the clock pulses in this circuit are fed to every flip-flop in the chain at exactly the same time. Synchronous counters therefore eliminate the clock ripple problem, as the operation of the circuit is synchronized to the clock pulses, rather than flip-flop outputs. This chapter focused on the counters. You will learn how to make and test different types of counters in this chapter.
9.2
Low Frequency Clock Pulse Generation
Low frequency clock pulses are very useful in testing the counter circuits. A low frequency clock pulse causes the counter to count slowly and permits the user to observe the change of outputs more easily. The circuit show in Fig. 9.1 generates a 3.7 Hz clock pulse. If you replace the C1 with a 10 µF capacitor you will have an output frequency around 5 Hz. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024 F.

Amplitude of the output for the circuits shown in Figs. 9.1 and 9.2 is around 3.5–4 V. Add a buffer to the output to have a clean clock pulse with an amplitude around 5 V (Fig. 9.3).
Fig. 9.3 Increasing the 555 output amplitude
9.3
Single Clock Pulse Generation
The circuits given in this section are very useful for testing the counter circuits. These circuits force the counter to go one by one when you press a push button. Therefore, you can clearly see how the circuit counts. From theoretical point of view, the simple circuits shown in Fig. 9.4 can be used to generate single clock pulses. For instance, in circuit Fig. 9.4a: When you press the push button the output goes from high to low and when you release the push button the output goes from low to high. However, these circuits can’t be used to generate single clock pulses because of the switch bounce problem. The bounce problem causes the counter to count more than once although the user push (or release) the button once. Therefore, we need a bounceless solution.

9 Counter Circuits
Fig. 9.4 Pulse generation with push buttons
The circuit shown in Fig. 9.5 generates a single clock pulse each time the push button is pressed and released. You can increase the amplitude of the output with the aid of technique shown in Fig. 9.3.

Single Clock Pulse Generation
201
Fig. 9.5 Single clock pulse generation with 555
You can use the simple circuit shown in Fig. 9.6 as well. When you press the push button the capacitor starts to charge toward +5 V. When you release the push button the capacitor starts to discharge and goes toward 0 V.

Another option is the circuit shown in Fig. 9.7. When you press the push button the output goes from low to high. When you release the push button output goes from high to low. The LED D1 shows the status of output.
Fig. 9.7 Single clock pulse generation with RC circuit
Another option for single clock pulse generation is shown in Fig. 9.8. Output is high when the switch is in the S position and is low when the switch in the R position. When the switch is in the S position and you put it in the R position, output goes from high to low. When the switch is in the R position and you put it in the S position, output goes from low to high. Therefore, moving the switch from one position to the other one and returning it to the initial position genrates a complete single clock pulse. The LED D1 shows the status of output.

The Clock Inhibit (CI) pin disables the counter so that any clock pulse on the CLK pin is ignored. Set this pin to low to enable the counter. The Carry-out (CO) pin goes from low to high when the counter reaches 10 and resets back to 0. It stays high for 5 clock pulses, then goes low again. Connect this pin to the clock input of another decade counter if you want to count higher than 10. Let’s get started. Make the circuit shown in Fig. 9.24 and pay attention to output pattern.

Non Retriggerable Monostable with 555 IC
Monostable or one-shot circuit is a digital circuit that is only stable in one state. This means that the output is usually low (logic 0) but it can be triggered and the output will go temporarily high (logic 1) for some predetermined length of time. Monostable circuits are divided into two groups: Non retriggerable and retriggerable one-shots. Non retriggerable one-shots do not respond to any triggers that occur during the unstable state (Fig. 10.16).
Fig. 10.16 Non retriggerable one-shot
Retriggerable one-shots respond to any trigger, even if it occurs in the unstable state. If it occurs during the unstable state, the state is extended by an amount equal to the pulse width (Fig. 10.17).
Fig. 10.17 Retriggerable one-shot
An application for a retriggerable one-shot is a power failure detection circuit. Triggers are derived from the AC power source, and continue to retrigger the one-shot. In the event of a power failure, the one-shot is not triggered and an alarm can be initiated. Retriggerable one-shot can be made with 74122, 74123 or 4047 IC’s (Fig. 10.18).

Resistor R is between 10 ky and 1 My and capacitor C is bigger than 1 nF. Output Q is initially at low logic and it turns high when trigger pulse comes. Q is the complement of Q.

Introduction
An Analog-to-Digital converter (ADC or A/D or A-to-D) is a system that converts an analog signal (i.e., a sound picked up by a microphone), into a digital signal. Some of the commonly used analog to digital converters are: HX711, ADS1115 and ICL7106/7. Digital multimeters use an analog to digital converter to measure and display voltage. They most commonly used analog to digital IC in the digital multimeters is ICL7106 or ICL7107. Pinout and a sample circuit with this IC is shown in Figs. 11.1 and 11.2, respectively.

Analog to Digital Conversion with ADC0804

A digital-to-analog converter (DAC, D/A, or D-to-A) is a system that converts a digital signal into an analog signal. Some of the commonly used digital to analog converters are: DAC080x and DAC0832. This chapter studies the analog to digital and digital to analog conversion and related ICs.

Analog to Digital Conversion with ADC0804
This section studies the ADC0804 IC. Pinout of ADC0804 is shown in Fig. 11.3. Fig. 11.3 Pinout of ADC0804
Followings must be done in order to convert an analog data into a digital data with ADC0804: (1) Make Chip Select low to activate the ADC0804. (2) Make Write pin low. (3) Make Write pin high after some delay small delay. This low to high impulse at Write pin starts the conversion. (4) Check the Interrupt pin. If it is high, conversion is running. If it is low, the conversion is over. (5) Make Read low and after some time high. This will bring the converted value to the 8 data output pins (pins 11–18) of ADC0804.
244
11 Analog-to-Digital and Digital-to-Analog Converters
Let’s get started. Make the circuit shown in Fig. 11.4. The ADC in Fig. 11.4 configured in continuous conversion mode (see the IC’s datasheet). In this mode the ADC continuously convert the input analog signal to digital. Fig. 11.4 Test circuit for ADC0804

Increasing the Analog to Conversion Accuracy
245
Measure the voltage of VREF/2 pin (pin 9) with a digital multimeter. Multiply the read value by two. The result gives you the value of VREF. VREF is the voltage associated with 11111111. Turn the potentiometer knob and apply the desired voltage to pin VIN + pin (pin 6) and pay attention to the output LEDs. Output times VREF/255 gives the value of input analog voltage. For example, assume that output showed 10100111. (10100111)2 = (167)10 . Therefore, the analog voltage applied to the VIN + pin of the ADC is 167 × VREF/255. Assume that VREF/2 is around 2.5 V. Therefore, VREF = 5 V and voltage given to the VIN + pin of the ADC is 167 × VREF/255 = 167 × 5/255 = 3.28 V.
11.3
Increasing the Analog to Conversion Accuracy
The VREF/2 pin (pin 9) of the ADC0804 can be used to decrease the step size of conversion (increasing the accuracy of conversion). When VREF/2 is not connected to anywhere, the VREF/2 potential is around 2.5 V. Therefore, VREF is around 2 × 2.5 V = 5 V and step size is VREF/255 = 5 V/255 = 19.6 mV. In this case the full scale span is from 0 V to VREF = 5 V. 1 × 5 = 1.16V (Fig. 11.5). Now, assume that you connected the VREF/2 pin to 3.3+1 The VREF is 2.32 V and full scale span is from 0 V to VREF = 2.32 V (this means that you can give analog voltages in the [0, 2.32 V] range). The step size of conversion in this case is 2.32 V/255 = 9.1 mV. Let’s study an example. Assume that output showed 10,100,111 while VREF/2 = 1.16 V. VREF = 2.32 V and (10100111)2 = (167)10 . In this case the analog voltage applied to VIN + pin of the ADC is 167 × VREF/255 = 167 × 2.32/255 = 1.52 V.

Let’s get started. Make the voltage divider shown in Fig. 11.5 and connect it to pin 9 of ADC0804 shown in Fig. 11.4. Turn the potentiometer knob and apply a desired voltage lies in the [0, 2.32 V] interval to the VIN + pin. Note the applied voltage and obtained output. Use the above formulas to calculate the voltage applied to pin VIN+ and compare the calculated value with the applied voltage value.

The circuit shown in Fig. 11.6 reads an analog voltage between 0 and 5 V and displays a digit between 1 and 9 based on the entered voltage value. Bigger number means bigger input voltage.
