fur2 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 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.

Pangloss Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insane_alien Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 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.

Pangloss Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Nice analogy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fur2 Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 (edited) 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?

Aeternus Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Why not look at things such as - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adder_(electronics) ? A nice simple example of computation being done with logic gates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Skeptic Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 In fact, you can do every kind of logic operation using only NAND gates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
