= -32 C Combining Numbers with Logic Monday, January 26 CEC 220 Digital Circuit Design A word problem: The temperature in C is represented as a 6-bit signed 2’s complement number: What is the highest temp that can be represented? What is the lowest temp that can be represented? The boolean expression (i.e. logic) for freezing (i.e. 0 C) is? = +31 C = -31 C Slide 3 of 11
Combining Numbers with Logic Monday, January 26 CEC 220 Digital Circuit Design What is the logic for temp > 15 C? What is the logic for temp = -1 C? What is the logic for temp -30 C? >15 = 16 or 17 or … or 31 -30 = -30 or -31 or -32 Slide 4 of 11
