Lots of talk about binary and how it works. This is a placeholder to remind me we needed to know about this. Good terms were

Introduction

This is me looking at theory and documenting what I need to know. Primarily this was driven from my electronics and not IT.

Pulse Trains

  • Non-Periodic pulse trains are digital signals with any pulses over time
  • Periodic pulse trains are pulses in fixed time like a clock signal
    • T=period (seconds/cycle)
    • tw = pulse width
    • frequency = cycles/second or frequency = 1/T
    • duty cycle = % of time period train = 1 or tw /T x 100%

Binary

Lots of talk about binary and how it works. This is a placeholder to remind me we needed to know about this. Good terms were

  • LSB Least significant bit
  • MSB Most significant bit
