Analysis of Combinational Circuits (1)
Digital Circuit Design:
- Word description of a function
? a set of switching equations
? hardware realization (gates, programmable logic devices, etc.)
Digital Circuit Analysis:
- Hardware realization
? switching expressions, truth tables, timing diagrams, etc.
Analysis is used
- To determine the behavior of the circuit
- To verify the correctness of the circuit
- To assist in converting the circuit to a different form.
