Digital Electronics - Boolean Algebra

Boolean algebra 是数学分支，提供一组运算和规则来处理和处理二进制变量。它被认为是数字电子学和计算机科学的基础。

Boolean algebra is a branch of mathematics that provides a set of operations and rules to manipulate and process binary variables. It is considered the foundation of digital electronics and computer science.

布尔代数基于二进制数系统。在本章中，我们将涵盖布尔代数的基本理论、重要性、优势、局限性和应用。

Boolean algebra is based on the binary number system. In this chapter, we will cover the basic theory of Boolean algebra, its significance, advantages, limitations, and applications.

What is Boolean Algebra?

布尔代数是一种数学，提供各种算符和规则来对二进制变量和数字执行算术和代数运算。布尔代数基于二进制数系统和逻辑算术。因此，它也被称为 logical algebra 。

Boolean algebra is a mathematics that provides various operators and rules to perform arithmetic and algebraic operations on binary variables and numbers. The Boolean algebra is based on the binary number system and logical arithmetic. Thus, it is also referred to as logical algebra.

布尔代数是由数学家和逻辑学家乔治·布尔在 1847 年开发的。

Boolean algebra was developed by a mathematician and logician George Boole in the year of 1847.

如今，布尔代数正被用作数字电子学、计算机系统和信息技术的基础。

Today, Boolean algebra is being used as the fundamental of digital electronics, computer systems, and information technology.

由于布尔代数基于二进制数系统。因此，布尔变量只能取两个可能的值，即 0 和 1。此处，值 0 表示错误状态，而值 1 表示真状态。

Since, Boolean algebra is based on the binary number system. Hence, the Boolean variables can take only two possible values i.e., 0 and 1. Here, the value 0 represents the False state, while the value 1 represents the True state.

布尔代数中的运算基于三个基本逻辑运算，即 AND、OR 和 NOT。

The operations in Boolean algebra are based on the three fundamental logical operations namely, AND, OR, and NOT.

让我们详细讨论这三个逻辑运算中的每一个。

Let us discuss about each of these three logical operations in detail.

Logical Operations in Boolean Algebra

以下是从布尔代数的基础形成的基本逻辑运算 −

The following are the fundamental logical operations that form the basis of Boolean algebra −

AND Operation

在布尔代数中，只有当所有输入值都为真 (1) 时结果才为真 (1) 的逻辑运算称为 AND 运算。AND 运算用一个点 (.) 表示。例如，A AND B 在符号形式中可以表示为 A.B。

In Boolean algebra, a logical operation in which the outcome is true (1) only when all the input values are true (1), otherwise, the output is false (0) is termed as AND operation. The AND operation is represented by a dot (.). For example, A AND B can be represented as A.B in symbolic form.

OR Operation

在布尔代数中，OR 运算是另一种逻辑运算，只有当所有输入值都为假 (0) 时，输出才为假 (0)，否则输出为真 (1)。OR 运算用一个加号 (+) 表示。例如，A OR B 可以表示为 A+B。

In Boolean algebra, the OR operation is another logical operation in which the output is false (0) only when all input values are false (0), otherwise the output is true (1). The OR operations is denoted by a plus (+). For example, A OR B can be represented as A + B.

NOT Operation

在布尔代数中，NOT 操作用于获得输入值的反转版本。因此，如果输入为真 (1)，则 NOT 操作的结果为假 (0)，反之亦然。NOT 操作用符号 “~” 表示。例如，NOT A 表示为 ~A。

In Boolean algebra, the NOT operation is performed to obtain the inverted version of the input value. Thus, the result of the NOT operation is false (0), if the input is true (1) and vice-versa. The NOT operation is represented by the symbol "~". For example, NOT A is represented as ~A.

这些是在布尔代数中使用的基本运算。但是，布尔代数中还有更多逻辑运算和规则，用于执行复杂任务。

These are the basic operations used in the Boolean algebra. However, there are many more logical operations and rules that used in the Boolean algebra to perform complex tasks.

Terminology of Boolean Algebra

以下是布尔代数中常用的部分重要术语 -

The following are some important terms commonly used in Boolean algebra −

Boolean Variable

布尔变量是一个可以取两个可能的二进制值之一的符号，即 0 和 1。

A Boolean variable is a symbol that can take one of the two possible binary values i.e., 0 and 1.

Boolean Value

它只不过是一个表示变量状态的值。它可以为真 (1) 或假 (0)。

It is nothing but a value representing the state of a variable. It can be either True (1) or False (0).

Boolean Function or Expression

这是一个由布尔变量和值以及逻辑运算符（如AND、OR 或 NOT）组成的逻辑表达式。它表示所有元素之间的逻辑关系。

It is a logical expression that consists of Boolean variables and values, and logical operators like AND, OR, or NOT. It represents a logical relationship between all the elements.

Logic Gate

逻辑门是一个可以执行特定逻辑运算的数字电路。数字电子学中使用了 7 个主要的逻辑门，它们是 AND 门、OR 门、NOT 门、NOR 门、NAND 门、XOR 门和 XNOR 门。

A logic gate is a digital circuit that can perform a specific logical operation. There are 7 main logic gates used in digital electronics, they are AND gate, OR gate, NOT gate, NOR gate, NAND gate, XOR gate, and XNOR gate.

这些是布尔代数中使用的基本术语，为理解和使用它提供了基础。
