MIPS digital circuits

Definitions

Circuits with only 2 voltage levels

  1. High / true / 1 / asserted
  2. Low / false / 0 / deasserted

More reliable (noise resistant since they are over a range of voltages)

Accuracy can be specified

Can be represented as a algebraically (MIPS boolean algebra )

Opposite: analog circuit

MinTerm, MaxTerm
