Explanation of Solution
- “LeD or incandescent bulb”, is the device that can have two states, ON and OFF.
- When the current flows through the circuit, the bulb is ON and it indicates a high state.
- When the switch is OFF, there is no current in the circuit and the device is OFF and it indicates a low state.

- In a few words, describe the Unicode Transformation Format (UTF)arrow_forwardA Gray code is a sequence of binary numbers with the property that no more than 1 bit changes in going from one element of the sequence to another. For example, here is a 3-bit binary Gray code: 000, 001, 011, 010, 110, 111, 101, and 100. Using three D flip-flops and a PLA, construct a 3-bit Gray code counter that has two inputs: reset, which sets the counter to 000, and inc, which makes the counter go to the next value in the sequence. Note that the code is cyclic, so that the value after 100 in the sequence is 000.arrow_forwardUsing 32 bits what would the word "Bob!" look like in hexadecimal?(Do not encode the quotes, just the text inside of the quotes)arrow_forward
