From simple to complicated

Featured Replies

how does boolean logic such as and gate ,or gate etc. generate comlicated circuitry.please tell me a website where i can see a diagram of a complicated circuit and explanation of how it acheives its task.

Some articles you may find helpful to get you started:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_access_memory

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_storage

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_circuit

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transistor

 

The second one may be particularly helpful, even going as far as talking about how information was stored before they came up with the idea of a binary gate. Check out the "Hierarchy of Storage" section for some good leads.

 

Good luck!

from talking with you on the IRC as well, i have thought of a good analogy for you.

 

think of it like lego, using only a few different types of bricks(or even only the classic 2*4 brick) i can create fantastically complex models(see lego world for examples of such) but each little block is simple. computer programs are much the same. the have lots of little blocks(instructions) that perform simple boolean logic operations, OR, AND, NOR, XOR and so on.

Thank you pangloss for your reply. However,what I want is an actual example with a clearly presented (simple english or close to) explanation.If you find one could you send it to my email just post it right here for everyone to see?

In fact, you can do every kind of logic operation using only NAND gates.
