This document discusses digital logic circuits and binary logic. It begins with an overview of binary logic, logic gates like NAND, NOR and XOR, and Boolean algebra. It then covers analog vs digital signals, quantization, and converting between analog and digital formats. Various representations of digital designs are presented, including truth tables, Boolean algebra, and schematics. Common logic gates and their representations are described. The document discusses design methodologies and analyses, as well as simulation of logic circuits. It also covers elementary binary logic functions, basic identities of Boolean algebra, and converting between Boolean expressions and logic circuits.

Note: Finite state machines may be unencoded ("one-hot")
or binary encoded. If the all 0's state is used, then
one less bit is needed and it is called modified
one-hot coding.
