Re: Digital signals (supplies) : 1 for high voltage & 0 for low voltage OR 1 for high
As alexan_e wrote...
1 and 0 are bit values ( binary digit values) and they represent logic states "true" and "not true".
Boolean algebra deals with the values 0 and 1.
These can be thought of as two integers,
or as the truth values false and true respectively.
In either case they are called bits or binary digits.
A bit is the minimum amount of information that we can imagine,
since it only stores either value 1 or 0, which represents either YES or NO,
activated or deactivated, true or false, etc...
that is: two possible states each one opposite to the other, without possibility of any shades.
So, if you say...
1 for high voltage & 0 for low voltage
It is right.
and this means that , when converting a bit value to a voltage value OR a voltage value to a bit value
bit value = 1 represent voltage value "high voltage"
bit value = 0 represent voltage value "low voltage"
Example: If "low voltage" < 100Volts < "high voltage"
then bit 0 represent all voltage values < 100V and bit 1 represent all voltage values > 100V
ie. NOT TRUE = voltage < 100V and TRUE = voltage > 100V
and, if you say...
1 for high logic/state & 0 for low logic/state
It is right.
and this means that , when converting a bit value to a logic/state OR a logic/state to a bit value
bit value = 1 represent " high logic/state"
bit value = 0 represent "low logic/state"
Example: If "low logic/state" < 2V < "high logic/state"
then bit 0 represent "all logic/states" < 2V and bit 1 represent "all logic/states" > 2V
ie. NOT TRUE = voltage < 2V and TRUE = voltage > 2V
