Identification should include
- defining
- integrated circuit (IC)
- dual in-line package (DIP)
- drawing the block diagram of a 14-pin DIP IC and labeling the pin numbers in order
- explaining the difference between a digital and an analog signal
- listing devices that use digital circuits
- drawing a digital signal that is 3 volts in amplitude and labeling it as binary 0 and 1
- constructing a free-running clock circuit and measuring its frequency.
Process/Skill Questions:
- What are examples of digital circuits used in everyday life?
- What is the range of voltage (highs and lows) in transistor-transistor logic (TTL) circuits?
