Digital and Analog Computer

.

Digital Computer:


  • A digital computer uses distinct values to represent the data internally.
  • All information are represented using the digital 0's and 1's.
  • Digital signal represents particular state that is: 0 (low) or 1 (high), yes or No, On or OFF, True or False.
  • These systems store and process the data in digital form (string of 0's and 1's).
  • They are capable of processing analog signals but the analog signals have to be converted into digital signals using an ADC before feeding into the digital computer.

Analog Computer:

  • Analog computer is another kind of a computer that represents data as variable across a continuous rang of values.
  • Analog computers are used for measuring of parameters that vary continuously in real time, such as temperature, pressure and voltage.
  • Analogue computers are used in hospital to measure the size of stone in kidney and mental disease diagnostics (CT scan with photos).
  • These computer use OP-AMP (Operational Amplifier).
  • Examples Seismograph

Hybrid Computer:

  • These computers are a combination of both digital and analog computers.
  • Hybrid computers are computers that exhibit features of analog computer and digital computers.
  • It is used in industrial process control, jet plan, airplanes.
  • These computers are mainly used in hospital to measure the heart beat of patient.
  • It can transfer data from analog to digital and digital to analog.

Define LAN and WAN

 . Local Area Network (LAN)  A LAN is a network that is used for communicating among computer devices, usually within an office building or home.   LAN’s enable the sharing of resources such as files or hardware devices that may be needed by multiple users • • Is limited in size, typically spanning a few hundred meters, and no more than a mile.  Is fast, with speeds from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps.  Requires little wiring, typically a single cable connecting to each device.  Has lower cost compared to MAN’s or WAN’s.  LAN’s can be either wired or wireless. Twisted pair, coax or fiber optic cable can be used in wired LAN’s. Advantages of LAN :    The data is transferred at an extremely faster rate in local Area Network.  Local area network (LAN) provides higher security. Disadvantages of LAN :   Initial cost of installing local area network is quite high.  Unauthorized user can access critical data of an organization in case LAN ad...
