ABOUT THE COURSE

INTRODUCTION

A digital system is a system that stores data in a discrete way. Larger amounts of data are stored as a string of these bits, which means a set of 0s and 1s together make a meaning to the system. The word digital is most commonly used in computing and electronics. Digital hardware and software components (internal and external) used to transform data into a digital solution. When digital systems are connected, they form a network.

A typical digital computer system has four basic functional elements: (1) input-output equipment, (2) main memory, (3) control unit, and (4) arithmetic-logic unit. Any of a number of devices is used to enter data and program instructions into a computer and to gain access to the results of the processing operation.

Digital system design is process of designing or developing systems which represent information using a binary system. It's easier to store, reproduce, transmit & manipulate digital data & cheaper/easier to design such systems.
