QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS GRADED A+
⩥ Acceptor.
Answer: A receiving device on a bus
⩥ Access time.
Answer: The time from the application of a valid memory address to the
appearance of valid output data
⩥ Addend.
Answer: In addition, the number that is added to another number called
the augend
⩥ Adder.
Answer: A logic circuit used to add two binary numbers
⩥ Address.
Answer: The location of a given storage cell or group of cells in a
memory; a unique memory location containing on byte
,⩥ Address Bus.
Answer: A one-way group of conductors from the to a memory, or other
external device, on which the address code is sent
⩥ Adjacency.
Answer: Characteristic of cells in a Karnaugh map in which there is a
single-variable change from one cell to another cell next to it on any of
its four sides
⩥ AHDL.
Answer: Altera HDL; a nonstandard HDL
⩥ Aliasing.
Answer: The effect created when a signal is sampled at less than twice
the signal frequency. Aliasing creates unwanted frequencies that
interfere with the signal frequency.
⩥ Alphanumeric.
Answer: Consisting of numerals, letters, and other characters
⩥ ALU.
Answer: Arithmetic Logic Unit; the key processing element of a
microprocessor that perfoms arithmetic and logic operations.
, ⩥ Amplitude.
Answer: In a pulse waveform, the height or maximum value of the pulse
as measured from its low level.
⩥ Analog.
Answer: A nominally continuous electrical signal that varies in
amplitude or frequency in response to changes in sound, light, heat,
position, or pressure.
⩥ Analog-to-digital (A/D) conversion.
Answer: The process of converting an analog signal to digital form
⩥ Analog-to-digital converter(ADC).
Answer: A device used to convert an analog signal to a sequence of
digital codes
⩥ AND.
Answer: A basic logic operation in which a true(high) output occurs only
when all the input conditions are true (high)
⩥ AND array.
Answer: An array of AND gates consisting of a matrix of programmable
interconnection
