Semester: First (1st)
Prerequisites: -
Teaching: Four (4) hours lectures, two (2) hour lab (per week).
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course the student will be able to:
- describe the basic principles of binary numbers, Boolean Algebra and logic gates
- explain the basic principles of binary functions and simplify binary functions
- design and reduce combinational circuits given specific requirements
- explain the notion of memory in the context of logic circuits
- list the characteristic tables of flip-flop types D,T and JK
- read and reduce state diagrams
- design sequential circuits
Course contents
Numeral systems and codes, digital circuits, principles and practices for combinatorial logic design, basic combinatorial digital circuits, PLAs, decoders, coders, multiplexers, comparators, adders, subtractors, ALUs, principles and practices for sequential digital design, latches, flip-flops,counters, shift registers, memory.
Assessment
This is a compound course, with its total grade comprising theory (70%) and applied part (30%). Success in the applied part of the course must coincide or predate participation in the final theory exam. The applied part is graded through with laboratory exercises and written reports. Theory is graded through a written midterm exam (30%), a written examination at the end of the course (70%) and an optional semester project (40%).
