Digital Design

Logic Design is an introductory course on digital design. It is a self-contained course in that it has no prerequisites, and it is offered to first-year ECE students. The course has theory, exercises, and laboratory exercises for a thorough coverage of the material.

Objectives

Upon completion of this course the student should be able to analyze small-scale digital circuits, and to design and implement on a breadboard digital circuits such as counters, finite state machines, and combinational circuits such as ripple carry adders.

Prerequisites

None

Syllabus

Binary number representation, binary/octal/hex numbers, Boole algebra, logic gates, combinational logic AND-OR (and OR-AND), minimal implementations with Karnaugh maps and the Quine-McCluskey method, logical circuits for arithmetic (adder/subtractor). Logical circuit design with TTL logic, MSI logic (decoders, multiplexers, comparators, etc.). Sequential logic, latches and flip flops, registers, analysis and synthesis of digital circuits.
