General Information

Description

This course provides the student with a foundation in the fundamentals of digital logic design and computer logic circuits. Both combinational and sequential logic circuits are covered in this course. The emphasis is on the use of Boolean algebra and basic logic gates to build effective complex logic circuits. Topics include: Number systems, Binary arithmetic, Codes, Logic gates, Boolean algebra and simplifications, Half adders, Full adders, Decoders, Encoders, Multiplexers, Latches, Flip-Flops, Counters, Shift Registers, Memory circuits

Expectations and Goals

1. Understand number systems, codes, and binary arithmetic,

2. Apply Boolean algebra to logic design,

3. Produce the truth table, timing diagram and gate design of logic functions,

4. Simplify logic functions for cost-effective implementation,

5. Build and trace the logic of circuits composed of simple gates,

6. Describe the behavior of the following circuits: Half Adder, Full Adder, Decoder, Encoder, Multiplexer, Latches, Flip-Flops, Registers, Counters, and Memory circuits.
