function as an independent device. Dumb terminals connect to a host computer that performs the processing and then sends the output back to the dumb terminal. An intelligent terminal has memory and a processor that has the capability of performing some functions independent of the host computer. b. Advantages of using network computer as compared to personal computer. Network computer is a collection of computers and devices connected together via communication devices. They allow users to share

COUNTERS A counter is simply a device that counts. Counters may be used to count operations, quantities, or periods of time. They may also be used for dividing frequencies, for addressing information in storage, or for temporary storage. Counters are a series of FFs wired together to perform the type of counting desired. They will count up or down by ones, twos, or more. In electronics, counters can be implemented quite easily using register-type circuits such as the flip-flop, and a wide

Oscillators Oscillator: An oscillator is a circuit that generates a repetitive waveform of fixed amplitude and frequency without any external input signal [1, p. 279]. Function of Oscillator: The function of oscillator is to generate alternating current or voltage wave forms such as sinusoidal, square wave, triangular wave, sawtooth wave, etc. Used of Oscillator: Oscillators are used in radio, TV, computers, CRT, Oscillocope, and communications. Types of Oscillator: There are two main types
