Computer Organisation and Design

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
