Educational goals
The main objectives of the course is to provide the fundamentals of digital circuitry required for the study, analysis and design of combinational logic digital circuits and to develop the ability to analyze and design synchronous and asynchronous sequential digital circuits. Upon completion of the course, students should be able to do the following:
- Describe the basic principles of digital logic, apply the Boolean algebra theorems, and design simple logical expressions using the basic logic gates.
- Write Boolean equations for combinational logic applications, simplify them and design the corresponding circuits with AND, OR and NOT gates, or design single-gate logic circuits with NAND or NOR only gates using De Morgan theorems.
- Analyze and design complex combinational circuits such as adders, comparators, decoders, encoders, code converters, multiplexers and demultiplexers.
- Recognize Digital System Designs and Implementations, NMOS, PMOS and CMOS logic,
- programmable logic devices (PLA, PAL, CPLD, FPGA) and VHDL language.
- Recognize and analyze the types of Flip-Flops and explain the operation of the serial and parallel registers.
- Analyze and design Synchronous Sequential Circuits and analyze and implement Asynchronous Sequential Circuit.
- Recognize the risks in logic circuits and the basic principles of operation of digital circuit testing procedures.
General Skills
- Search, analysis and synthesis of information by using the appropriate means and technology.
- Desicion making.
- Independent and cooperative work.
- Respect to the natural environment.
- Criticism and self-criticism ability.
- Free, creative and inductive thinking.
