The primary objective of this course is to provide a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of the number system, Boolean Algebra, and digital design. Through theoretical concepts and practical applications, students will gain a solid understanding of these foundational principles, setting the stage for further exploration and application in digital systems and engineering.
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to:
(1) Recognize the number systems and Boolean Algebra,
(2) Classify a logic circuit based on Boolean functions for presenting alternative circuits,
(3) Utilize Karnaugh Maps to showcase minimized Boolean functions and visual representations of two-level implementations of logic circuits,
(4) Analyze diverse combinational circuits (adders, multipliers, encoders, etc.) to comprehend designs and functions,
(5) Evaluate synchronous sequential circuits (flip-flops, latches), judging their operational principles and effectiveness,
(6) Collaborate with peers to conduct experiments on registers, counters, and programmable logic.
