Register Transfer Notation
Register Transfer Notation (or RTN) is a way of specifying the behavior of a digital synchronous circuit In digital electronics, a synchronous circuit is a digital circuit in which the changes in the state (computer science), state of memory elements are synchronized by a clock signal. In a sequential logic, sequential digital logic circuit, data .... It is said to be a specification language for this reason. Register Transfer Languages (or RTL, where the L sometimes stands for Level of abstraction) are similar to Register Transfer Notation and used to describe much the same thing, however they are of a synthesizable format and more similar to a standard computer programming language, like C. RTN may be written as either abstract or concrete. Abstract RTN is a generic notation which does not have any specific machine implementation details. In contrast, concrete RTN is a notation which does implement specifics of the machine for which it is designed. The possible locations in ...

Digital Data
Digital data, in information theory and information systems, is information represented as a string of Discrete mathematics, discrete symbols, each of which can take on one of only a finite number of values from some alphabet (formal languages), alphabet, such as letters or digits. An example is a text document, which consists of a string of alphanumeric characters. The most common form of digital data in modern information systems is ''binary data'', which is represented by a string of binary digits (bits) each of which can have one of two values, either 0 or 1. Digital data can be contrasted with ''analog data'', which is represented by a value from a continuous variable, continuous range of real numbers. Analog data is transmitted by an analog signal, which not only takes on continuous values but can vary continuously with time, a continuous real-valued function of time. An example is the air pressure variation in a sound wave. The word ''digital'' comes from the same sour ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Synchronous Circuit
In digital electronics, a synchronous circuit is a digital circuit in which the changes in the state (computer science), state of memory elements are synchronized by a clock signal. In a sequential logic, sequential digital logic circuit, data is stored in memory devices called flip-flop (electronics), flip-flops or latches. The output of a flip-flop is constant until a pulse is applied to its "clock" input, upon which the input of the flip-flop is latched into its output. In a synchronous logic circuit, an electronic oscillator called the ''clock (computing), clock'' generates a string (sequence) of pulses, the "clock signal". This clock signal is applied to every storage element, so in an ideal synchronous circuit, every change in the logic level, logical levels of its storage components is simultaneous. Ideally, the input to each storage element has reached its final value before the next clock occurs, so the behaviour of the whole circuit can be predicted exactly. Pract ...
