Objectives
This course provides an introduction to logic design and the basic building blocks used in digital systems, in particular digital computers. It starts with a discussion of combinational logic: logic gates, minimization techniques, digital integrated circuits, arithmetic circuits, and modern logic devices such as field programmable logic gates. The second part of the course deals with sequential circuits: flip-flops, synthesis of sequential circuits, and case studies, including counters, registers, and random access memories. State machines will then be discussed and illustrated through case studies of more complex systems using logic devices. Different representations including truth table, logic gate, timing diagram, switch representation, and state diagram will be also discussed. The course is supported by a digital logic design laboratory that uses the KL-300 Digital Lab. kit.
