Digital Electronics & Its Advantages And Disadvantages


Why computer Engineers need to know about Digital System Electronics





Computer science and engineering has several fields of electrical engineering and it required to form computer hardware and software. Computer engineers have training in electronic engineering, software design, and hardware-software integration instead of only software engineering or electronic engineering. Right from the design of individual micro-controllers, microprocessors, personal computers, and supercomputers, to circuit design computer engineers participate in many hardware and software factors of computing.


The Digital electronics uses VLSI technology, which has greatly decreased the size and area of the circuit boards and has enhanced the accuracy and performance of the systems. Mostly, digital systems have the advantage of data encryption for the communication purposes. The data transmission is safe and secure. All these factors clearly show that the digital electronic stream has wide future scope in the modern era.


Advantages Of Digital Electronics


Digital Electronic circuits are relatively easy to design.


It has higher precision rate in terms of accuracy.


Transmitted signals are not lost over long distance.


Digital Signals can be stored easily.


Digital Electronics is more immune to 'error' and 'noise' than analog. But in case of high-speed designs, a small noise can induce error in the signal.


The voltage at any point in a Digital Circuit can be either high or low; hence there is less chance of confusion.


Digital Circuits have the flexibility that can change the functionality of digital circuits by making changes in software instead of changing actual circuit.


Disadvantages of Digital Electronics


The real world is analog in nature, all quantities such as light, temperature, sound etc. Digital Systems is required to translate a continuous signal to discrete which leads to small quantization errors. To reduce quantization errors a large amount of data needs to be stored in Digital Circuit.


Digital Circuits operate only with digital signals hence, encoders and decoders are required for the process. This increases the cost of equipment.

 One can easily say that these are the inventions of the century. It has done what one could not imagine. It has open the doors of the world to the world. What are you thinking now? Whatever you do, just put that in a search engine , you will be amazed to see the data on that, its amazing. Information on fingertips, one just has to type that. At this day and age, the current of terms of literacy says that a person who doesn't know about computers is not literate. It simply shows as to how deeply this is involved in every walk of life, just name it. There is a tendency of humans to accept change with time or not accept it at all. Change does cause stress. See the bright aspect. These inventions have changed the face of the world . Businesses are stretched from one corner of the world to another. Who says that you have to hire someone in your local area to get your work done, you can get a person have your work done on the portals that serve as a bridge between the company and th...

What Is the Technology Behind a Touch Screen?

Image
 Have you ever wondered just how the touch screen on your cell phone, tablet, LED television, or any other device actually works? It is amazing to think that we can now issue commands to our devices with the touch of our hand and while this technology might seem new, it has actually been around since the 1960's. In fact, the technology behind the touch screen can actually traced right back to the 1940's but it was only two decades later that it actually became feasible to use on a large scale. ATMs have been using technology since 1965 which is when E.A. Johnson invented the first finger-driven touch screen that actually used the same capacitive touch mechanism that is still used in cell phones and other devices to this day. Although there are other types of touch screen technology such as resistive touch or multi touch technology, capacitive touch technology is the one that is preferred for mass produced consumer products. How is a Capacitive Touch Screen Made? Today, a c...

Artificial Intelligence for Managers: Why Is It Important?

Image
Far-sighted managers look into the advantages AI has for the future and adapt themselves accordingly. AI will help advance careers and produce faster business results, enabling good managers to become great at what they do. Given the enormous advantages AI has over human beings , it is often sought to perform tasks earlier done by a human with great precision and excellent results, irrespective of the size and type of the data. What makes Artificial Intelligence Appealing? AI can compress numbers, detect patterns, and make fast decisions driven by data with a precision that a human may not do. Given the ability to process large data sets and provide directions of trends and advice that can be acted upon, AI can be a vital tool for any manager dealing with quantitative data to make decisions. The efficiency of c omputers is so good that it is estimated to replace 40% of the human fund managers in the financial industry with robo-advisers. Any good manager should try to upgrade hi...
