Solvng Voltage & Current Reconsderng the crcut to the rght wth Vs = 5V, R = 400 ohms, = 600 ohms Solve for the current through the crcut and voltages across each resstors (.e.

SB connectng to your laptop's man processng system) For our class rght now: A controlled by a human (can be on or off) How wll we know what voltage s comng out of a dgtal crcut? Could use a voltmeter or osclloscope (don't be afrad to use the equpment n our lab!) are commonly used to show the status of a dgtal output to a human A button or swtch (nput stmulus) Input Some dgtal processng/ control An LED Output Each key on your keyboard s essentally a dgtal nput generated by a push button (pressed or not pressed) The status ndcator on the Caps Lock button s smply an LED controlled by a dgtal output.

No Current flows = LED off 5V 5V No voltage dfferental = No Current flows = LED off Man Pont: The long of the LED must be attached to the sde that wll have the hgher voltage. No current lmtaton BAD Choose resstor to lmt current A dgtal (gate) output wll usually serve as our voltage source that can be ether '0' (0V) or '' (5V) Doesn't matter where resstor s placed as long as t s n seres Man Pont: LED's should always be connected wth a currentlmtng resstor Breadboard vew LED Connecton Approaches When lettng a dgtal output control an LED, the value (.e. '0' = low or '' = hgh voltage) that causes the LED to lght up depends on how the crcut s wred Ths box represents a dgtal output (e.g. your Arduno) that can generate a hgh () or low (0) voltage. What dgtal output value must be present for the LED to be on? Note: Gates can often (take n) more current than they can (push out), so opton 2 may be preferred but let's not worry about ths now let's use opton Opton 0 LED on LED off GND Model of dgtal output LED s on when gate outputs '' R Opton 2 LED off LED on LED s on when gate outputs '0'.2 Swtch and PushButton Inputs Swtches and pushbuttons can be n one of two confguratons: or Swtches can be opened or closed and then n that poston untl changed Pushbuttons are open by and requre you to push them to close the crcut (they then open when you release) Can be used as an nput to dgtal devce.24 Example pushbuttons Example swtch Man Pont: LED's can lght for ether a logc '' or '0' output t depends on how they are wred.
Swtches and Pushbuttons Important Note : When open a /PB looks lke an resstance (no current can flow) When closed a /PB looks lke a (R=0) and no voltage drops across t Queston: What voltage does an open or closed swtch (pushbutton) generate? Answer:. Important Note 2: or PBs don't produce dgtal 0's or 's, they control what voltage (PWR/GND) s connected to your devce = =.25 R=nf. (open crcut) R=0 (wre) V =?? V =?? Connectng a Swtch Swtches only help the voltage gong nto a devce, they do not produce a voltage (0V or 5V) by themselves Opton : Attach one sde to GND and the other sde to the devce When the swtch=open, nothng s connected to the devce (a.k.a. ) A floatng nput may sometmes appears as zero, and other tmes as a one. We need the nputs to logc gates to be n ether the 0 or state not floatng Opton 2: When swtch closed => resstance connecton from power to ground = current flow BAD!!! (Ths s known as a "short crcut"). Vn = floatng = unknown Vn.26 Opton : Bad (floatng) Swtch Closed = 0V (Logc 0) to nput Swtch Open =??? (does not work) nlmted current flow when closed Opton 2: Bad (short crcut) Swtch Open = =5V (Logc ) to nput Swtch Closed = Short Crcut (does not work) Preferred Wrng of Swtches Soluton: Put GND on the far sde and a "pullup" resstor at the nput sde "Pullup resstor" used to hold the nput hgh unless somethng s forcng t to a zero open => Arduno nput looks lke nf.
