Q:

What does Quality factor mean?

Answer

The Quality Factor is also defined, as Q. So it is a number, which reflects the lossness of a circuit. higher the Q, the lower are the losses.

Q:

What is the difference between microprocessor and micro-controller?

Answer

In microprocessor more op-codes, few bit handling instrucitons. But in Microcontroller. fewer op-codes, more bit handling Instruction, and also it is defined as a device that includes micro processor, memory, & input / output signal lines on a single chip.


the basic architectual difference is that microcontroller has an programmable memory while it is not the case with mivroprocessors.

Give the truth table for a Half Adder. Give a gate level Implementation of the same.

Answer

TRUTH TABLE FOR HALF ADDER


A    B  SUM  CARRY


0    0    0         0


0    1    1         0


1    0    1         0


1    1    0         1


INPLEMENTATION:


For SUM, The two inputs A and B are given to XOR gate.


For Carry, The two inputs A and B are given to AND gate.
