COMMON BASE CHARACTERISTICS


The performance of the transistor in a circuit, depends on the V–I
characteristics of the transistor.
The transistor is a three-terminal device.

Digital Electronics One terminal is made common to input and output. The other two will be
the other input terminal and the output terminal.

• Common base
• Common emitter
• Common collector configurations

Number Systems
• The study of number systems is important from the viewpoint of understanding how data
are represented before they can be processed by any digital system including a digital
computer.
• It is one of the most basic topics in digital electronics. In this section, we will discuss
different number systems commonly used to represent data.
• We will begin the discussion with the decimal number system.
Analogue Versus Digital:- There are two basic ways of representing the numerical values of
the various physical quantities with which we constantly deal in our day-to-day lives.
One of the ways, referred to as analogue, is to express the numerical value of the quantity as
a continuous range of values between the two expected extreme values.
For example, the temperature of an oven settable anywhere from 0 to 100 °C may be
measured to be 65 °C or 64.96 °C or 64.958 °C or even 64.9579 °C and so on, depending
upon the accuracy of the measuring instrument. Similarly, voltage across a certain
component in an electronic circuit may be measured as 6.5 V or 6.49 V or 6.487 V or 6.4869

Number System Binary Number System


Different characteristics that define a number system include the number of independent digits used in the number system, the place values
of the different digits constituting the number and the maximum numbers that can be written with the given number of digits.
The decimal number system with which we are all so familiar can be said to have a radix of 10 as it has 10 independent digits, i.e. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. Similarly, the binary number system with only two independent digits, 0 and 1, is a radix-2 number system
Decimal Number System
The decimal number system is a radix-10 number system and therefore has 10 different digits or symbols. These are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.
All higher numbers after ‘9’ are represented in terms of these 10 digits only. The process of writing higher-order numbers after ‘9’ consists in writing the second
digit (i.e. ‘1’) first, followed by the other digits, one by one, to obtain the next 10 numbers from ‘10’ to ‘19’. ’20’ to ’29’, ‘30 to ‘39’ and so on.

Logic operations are the backbone of any digital computer. George Boole reduced the mathematics of logic to a binary
notation of ‘0’ and ‘1’.

The place values for the different digits in the octal number system are 80, 81, 82 and so on (for the integer
1/21/2025 27
part) and 8−1, 8−2, 8−3 and so on (for the frac onal part).

Number Systems – Some Common Terms


 Binary Number System: Bit is an abbreviation of the term ‘binary digit’ and is
the smallest unit of information. It is either ‘0’ or ‘1’. A byte is a string of eight
bits. Others are Decimal Number System, Octal Number System and
Hexadecimal Number System.
