Computer Architecture

The term digital is derived from the way computers perform operation by counting digits. For many years, applications of digital electronics were confined to computer system. Today, digital technology is applied in a wide range of areas in addition to computers. Such application as television communication systems. Radars, navigation and guidance system, military systems.

Medical instrumentation and customer electronics use digital techniques. Digital technology has progressed from vacuum tube circuits to discrete transistors to complex integrated circuit.
