Computer architecture consists of rules and methods or procedures which describe the implementation, functionality of the computer systems.
- Input
- Memory
- CPU
- Output
- Data & Binary computers use binary - the digits 0 and 1 - to store data. A binary digit, or bit.
The circuits in a computer's processor are made up of billions of transistors. A transistor is a tiny switch that is activated by the electronic signals it receives. The digits 1 and 0 used in binary reflect the on and off states of a transistor.
Binary read texts ,images and sound by numbers.
- Circuits & Logic
Combinational Logic Circuits are made up from basic logic NAND, NOR or NOT gates that are “combined” or connected together to produce more complicated switching circuits. These logic gates are the building blocks of combinational logic circuits.
