Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. To connect 'end- to- end' as when several counters are connected from the terminal count output of one counter to the enable input of the next counter






2. The total number of data units(bits - nibbles - bytes - words) that a memory can store.






3. A circuit with a complete current path






4. The opposition of a capacitor to permit current; the reciprocal of capacitive reactance. The unit is the siemens.

11. One of the three regions in a bipolar junction transistor






12. Data Communications equipment






13. Bipolar junction transistor; a semiconductor device used for switching or amplification. A BJT has two junctions - the base- emitter junction and the base- collector junction






14. The process of converting an analog signal to digital form






15. A method for internally testing a PLD based on the JTAG standard (IEEE std.)






16. A theorem that states that any amount of voltage sources and current sources can be combined into a single current source with a parallel resistor.

21. An electrical device consisting of two conductive plates separated by an insulating material and possessing the property of capacitance.






22. The beginning address of a segment of memory






23. Arithmetic Logic Unit; the key processing element of a microprocessor that perfoms arithmetic and logic operations.






24. The action of a circuit in which it accepts current into its output from a load






25. A measure of the ability of a reactive circuit to permit current; the reciprocal of impedance. the unit is the siemens






26. A bidirectional set of conductive paths on which data or instruction codes are transferred into a microprocessor or on which the result of an operation is sent out from the microprocessor






27. An expression of variables and operators used to express the operation of a logic circuit






28. The current left after the total load current is subtracted from the total current into the circuit






29. The VHDL unit that describes the internal operation of a logic function; the internal functional arrangement of the elements that give a device its particular operating characteristics.






30. A one- way group of conductors from the to a memory - or other external device - on which the address code is sent






31. A two terminal circuit containing voltage sources - current sources - and resistors can be modeled as a voltage source in series with a resistor






32. A interconnection of electrical components designed to produce a desired result. A basic circuits consists of a source - a load and an interconnecting current path.






33. The time from the application of a valid memory address to the appearance of valid output data






34. In addition (Oring) and multiplication (ANDing) of three or more variables - the order in which the variables are grouped makes no difference






35. A digital counter having ten states






36. In Boolean algebra - the OR operation

39. The main part of a computer responsible for control and processing of data; the core of a DSP that processes the program instructions






40. An adverse condition that could occur if two or more devices try to communicate at the same time on a bus






41. Transistor-Transistor Logic and is implemented with bipolar junction transistors






42. A basic logic operation in which a true(high) output occurs only when all the input conditions are true (high)






43. A type of magnetic tape format






44. An application program in development software packages that controls the design flow process and translates source code into object code in a format that can be logically tested or downloaded to a target device






45. A type of bistable multivibrator in which the output assumes the state of the D input on the triggering edge of a clock pulse.
