No. Number Date
1 1 Program A sequence of instructions 3 14/1/19
operates on a given data.
2 1 Discrete Information Any set that is restricted to a 3
finite number of elements
contains discrete information.
3 1 Digital Systems Digital system can represent 3
and manipulate discrete
elements of information.
4 1 Signals Discrete elements of 3
information are represented in
a digital system by physical
quantities
5 1 Transistors Electronic devices called 3
transistors predominate in the
circuitry that implements
these signals.
6 1 Binary The signals in most present‐ 3
day electronic digital systems
use just two discrete values
and are therefore said to be
binary.
7 1 Bit A binary digit, called a bit, has 3
two values: 0 and 1.
8 1 Binary Codes Discrete elements of 3
information are represented
with groups of bits called
binary codes.
9 1 General‐Purpose Digital It is the best‐known example 3
Computer of a digital system.
10 1 Memory Unit It stores programs as well as 3
input, output, and
intermediate data.
11 1 Central Processing Unit It performs arithmetic and 3
other data‐processing
operations as specified by the
program.
12 1 Digital Computer It is a powerful instrument that 4 17/1/19
can perform not only
arithmetic computations, but
also logical operations.
13 1 Digital circuits Also referred to as logic 4
circuits, process data by
means of binary logic
elements (logic gates) using
binary signals.
