Digital Logic

(3 credits)

Description: Introduction to digital systems, Boolean algebra, minimization of logic functions, combinational and sequential circuit design.

Prerequisites: Physics 105

Text: Fundamentals of Digital Logic with VHDL Design, Stephen Brown and Zvonko Vranesic, McGraw-Hill, 2000.

Course Objectives: The objectives of the course include providing the students with a foundation in the analysis and design of digital systems, with an introduction to the engineering design process, and with experience in designing increasingly complex systems.

Topics Covered: Introduction, number system, Boolean algebra, logic gates – IC’s, Boolean function implementation, combinational design, design examples, design with MSI, LSI, sequential systems, synchronous sequential logic design, MSI, LSI components: registers, counters, large scale digital system design, data path, bus structures.

Class/Laboratory Schedule: Class meets twice per week in 75-minute lecture sessions. In addition, there is a one hour recitation section each week. There is no formal laboratory with this course, although material from this course is included in the ECE/COE 0501 laboratory course.

Professional Component Contributions: This course contributes to the two years of engineering topics and with the study of Boolean algebra, to the one-year of mathematics and science.
