REAL WORLD Digital Circuit Designer Design actual logic circuits for elevator controllers, traffic lights, and other real applications. See how Boolean logic powers everyday systems! Welcome to Logic Circuit Design Have you ever wondered how an elevator "knows" which floor to go to? Or how traffic lights coordinate to keep intersections safe? The answer is digital logic circuits — physical implementations of the Boolean logic you've been learning! Design logic gates (AND, OR, NOT) using real switches Build an elevator controller system Create a traffic light controller Translate word problems into working circuits Digital circuits are the foundation of computer engineering, embedded systems, and automation. Let's start with the basics! Every digital circuit is built from logic gates — physical components that implement Boolean operations. Let's explore the three fundamental gates: Now let's interact with real gates ! Toggle the switches below to see how an AND gate works: Real-World Application: Elevator Controller Let's design a circuit for a real elevator system! The elevator should only move when: This translates to the Boolean expression: D ∧ B where D = door closed, B = button pressed Interactive Elevator Simulator Now let's tackle a more complex system: a traffic light controller. Traffic lights use sequential logic to cycle through states: In digital circuits, we use a state machine to control the sequence. Each state activates different outputs based on a timer.
