Analog Quantities
• Most natural quantities that we see are analog and vary
continuously. Analog systems can generally handle higher
power than digital systems.
• Digital systems can process, store, and transmit data more
efficiently but can only assign discrete values to each point.

Digital Waveforms
Digital waveforms change between the LOW and HIGH
levels. A positive going pulse is one that goes from a
normally LOW logic level to a HIGH level and then back
again. Digital waveforms are made up of a series of pulses.

Pulse Definitions
Actual pulses are not ideal but are described by the rise time, fall time,
amplitude, and other characteristics.
The overshoot and ringing are sometimes produced by stray inductive
and capacitive effects.
The droop can be caused by stray capacitive and circuit resistance
10
Delay Definitions
Rise time (tr) – time required for a pulse to
go from its LOW level to HIGH level.
Fall time (tf) - time required for a pulse to go
from its HIGH level to LOW level.
In practice, it is common to measure
• rise time from 10% to 90 % of the pulse
amplitude
• fall time from 90% to 10 % of the pulse
amplitude
Pulse width (tw) – measure of the duration of
the pulse and it is defined as time interval
between the 50 % points on the rising and
falling edges
11
Propagation Definitions
Propagation is the interval of time required
after an input signal has been applied for
the resulting output change to occur.
Propagation delays measured at the
midpoint between the L and H values.
Propagation delay (tPLH) – measured from
the triggering edge of an input signal to the
LOW-to-HIGH transition of the output.
Definition 1 tPD= max (tPHL, tPLH)
Propagation delay (tPHL) – measured from
the triggering edge of an input signal to the Definition 2 tPD= average (tPHL, tPLH)
HIGH-to-LOW transition of the output.
12
Pulse Definitions
• In addition to frequency and period, repetitive pulse
waveforms are described by the amplitude (A), pulse width
(tW) and duty cycle. Duty cycle is the ratio of tW to T.
