Reminder: Before posting, it is recommended that you review course Discussion requirements. These include the need to use proper English and avoid the use of emoticons, LOLs, all capital letters (which is considered shouting), and chat-speak. Proofread so that your work is professional and free of grammar, spelling, capitalization, and punctuation errors. Watch subject line and other instructions. Provide at least 100 words in your "initial post" (the answer to the questions at the top of the page), then write at least two meaningful responses to other posts and participate on at least three different days of the week to meet requirements. The Syllabus provides more detail about the grading of discussions.

Topic: Digital Logic

Communication inside a computer is in the form of sequences of on and off electrical pulses to represent everything from numbers and letters to images and sounds. Digital logic is used to interpret these sequences of binary data processed by microchip gates. For example, the NOT gate can be represented as:

It will take an input of 1 and output a 0. Or it can take an input of a binary byte (eight-digit binary number). For example, an input of 11111111 would output 00000000.

You can further build on this simple gate by combining gates. For example, a sequence of two NOT gates would look like:

Initial Post: Research how computers process information using logic, truth tables, and electronic gate structure in Information Technology. Describe the relationship you found by responding to the following:

1) Cite two sources in APA format that would further the class understanding of electronic gates in IT.

2) For each source, summarize the information shared in at least one paragraph.

3) Give an example of an electronic gate. You may use the software of your choice for the gate drawing. A few online options are creatly.com or cosketch.com. Also, Microsoft® Paint®, Word®, or Microsoft® PowerPoint® also work and can be saved as an image or file. Share the image as an attachment or as a link.

4) Share the possible single digit binary inputs (0, 1) and outputs via a truth table.

First Response to a Classmate: Review the electronic gate shared by a classmate. Add on to their digital gate by making its output an input for a new gate. Describe the possible binary (0, 1) inputs and resulting outputs in a truth table.

Second Response to a Classmate: Review the electronic gate shared by a different classmate. Describe the resulting output with an input of binary byte (eight-digit binary number) of your choosing. What is the decimal equivalent of the inputted binary number as well as its outputted binary number?

Discussion Requirements

Throughout this course, you will respond to other people’s opinions and comments by participating in the Discussion Boards. It is helpful to complete your Reading prior to answering the Discussion topics.

The complete Discussion topics can be found by clicking on the Discussion content item in the menu to the left under this unit. Be sure to answer one of the provided questions, comment on at least two of your classmates' posts, and engage one another in discussion.

Discussion Board grading rubrics include points for posts which “…contribute to the quality of the discussion.” In order to earn full credit, students are strongly encouraged to post by Saturday night so that posts will engage other students and provide a quality contribution. Be sure your post is grammatically correct, has been spell checked, and you have fully answered the question. A response to a classmates’ post must be substantive; posts such as “Great job” or “I agree” will not be counted as a response. See the rubric for further details. Provide citations for any websites referred to in your posts and summarize in your own words any information shared in your post.
