Digital Logic Design

Course Objectives

After the completion of the course, the students will be able to:

1. Apply the principles of Boolean algebra to logic functions.

2. Use K-maps to realize two-level minimal/optimal combinational circuits

3. Understand the operation of latches, flip-flops, counters and registers.

4. Analyze and design sequential circuits built with various flip-flops.

5. Appreciate the ease and versatility of design using programmable logic.

Course Description

This course provides an introduction to logic design and basic tools for the design of digital logic systems.A basic idea of number systems will be provided, followed by a discussion on combinational logic: logic gates, Boolean algebra, minimization techniques, arithmetic circuits (adders, subtractors), basic digital circuits (decoders, encoders, multiplexers, shift registers), programmable logic devices (PROM, PAL, PLA).The course will then cover sequential circuits: flip-flops, state transition tables and diagrams, state minimization, state machines, design of synchronous/asynchronous counters, RAM/ROM design.An introduction to programmable logic will also be provided.

Class Structure

1. Lectures : Attendance and participation of all of them is strongly encouraged.

2.Laboratory : You must pass in your lab to attain a passable grade in theory. 20% marks from your lab will be directly added to your theory

3. Assignments : You will be given some design assignments. You will use pen and papers and tools to solve those problems.

4. Projects : You will have to submit a hardware design project at the end of the semester. You will work on the project as a group.

5. Exams: There will be one midterm, one final exam and no make-ups .
