S9:E4 Boolean Algebra: Flip-Flops and Adders for Computer Science


Listen Later

This episode provides an overview of Boolean algebra concepts essential for computer science, specifically focusing on digital circuits for arithmetic and memory. It explains the function and construction of half-adders and full-adders, detailing how these circuits perform binary addition and how full-adders can be concatenated for multi-bit operations. The text also introduces the edge-triggered D-type flip-flop, describing its role as a fundamental memory unit that stores a single bit based on clock signals and its applications in registers, counters, and static RAM. Ultimately, the document serves as an educational guide to understanding these core components of digital logic.
