    This document provides an overview of analog versus digital systems. It explains that analog systems use continuous values to measure properties like temperature, while digital systems represent information using discrete values, such as binary 1s and 0s, to indicate signals being on or off. Digital systems only care about changes in signals rather than their actual values. Examples of digital systems include computers, telephone switches, calculators, and digital displays.

    Introduction

    Digital Systems
    Analog versus Digital
    • Analog System
    • It is a system that uses continues
    values.
    • Basically, analog system or devices
    are measuring instruments.
    • The measured property can take
    on an infinite number of possible
    values.
    ANALOG VERSUS DIGITAL
    • Analog System Thermometer
    • For example, consider the
    thermometer.
    • The liquid thermometer, an
    analog device, measures and
    displays an approximate value
    of temperature.
    • With sufficient precision, a
    thermometer reading of +70°F
    might actually as +69.82579°F
    or +69.92987°F
    ANALOG VERSUS DIGITAL
    Thermometer
    • Analog System
    • There are infinite numbers of
    possible temperatures between
    +69°F and +70°F.
    • The only limitation on resolution
    is the accuracy of the
    measuring device.
    ANALOG VERSUS DIGITAL
    • Digital System
    • Any system that can be used for the
    transmission or processing of information in
    which the information is represented by physical
    quantities or signals that are so constrained as
    to take only discrete values.

    ANALOG VERSUS DIGITAL
    • Digital System
    • Signal is a physical quantity that represents
    discrete elements of information in a digital
    system.
    • Electrical signals such as voltages and currents
    are the most common.
    • The signals in all-present day electronic digital-
    systems have only two discrete values and are
    said to be Binary.
    ANALOG VERSUS DIGITAL
    • Digital System
    • A major criterion for any digital system is the
    absence or presence of a signal and not its actual
    value.
    • In digital system, we want to know if something has
    changed and not how much it has changed.

    ANALOG VERSUS DIGITAL
    • The general-purpose digital computer
    is the best-known example of a digital
    system. Other examples are
    – Telephone switching exchange
    – Digital multimeter
    – Digital counters
    – Electronic calculators
    – Digital displays
    ANALOG VERSUS DIGITAL
    • Characteristic of a digital system is its manipulation
    of discrete elements of information.
    • Such discrete elements may be electric impulses,
    the decimal digits, letters of the alphabet, arithmetic
    operations, punctuation marks, or any other set of
    meaningful symbols.
    • The juxtaposition of discrete elements of information
    represents a quantity of information.
