Digital Electronics (DE)
Digital Electronics (DE)
Digital Electronics (DE) is the study of electronic circuits that are used to process and control digital signals as opposed to analog signals that are varying. This distinction allows for greater signal speed and storage capabilities and has revolutionized the world electronics. Digital electronics is the foundation of all modern electronic devices such as cellular phones, MP3 players, laptop computers, digital cameras, high definition televisions, etc. The major focus of the DE course is to expose students to the design process of combinational and sequential logic design, teamwork, communication methods, engineering standards, and technical documentation
DE Unit Summary
Unit 1: Fundamentals of Analog and Digital Electronics Unit 2: Combinational Logic Unit 3: Sequential Logic Unit 4: Microcontrollers
Digital ElectronicsCredit: 1 Grade: 10 - 12Prerequisite: Introduction to Engineering Design, Algebra I
Digital Electronics includes the application of electronic logic circuits and devices, and application of Boolean logic to the solution of problems. Students will test and analyze simple and complex digital circuits. Students will also design circuits, simulate their circuits using circuit design software and construct the design using integrated circuits and other components.
Note: This course can substitute for a math graduation requirement.
