Course Title:

Digital Electronics 1

Course Description:

Introduces the basic elements of digital logic systems including decimal, binary, octal, and hexadecimal numbering systems. Extends these concepts to the design of coding systems such as binary, binary-coded decimal, Gray code, seven-segment displays, and multiplexers. Continues with Boolean algebra including applications of DeMorgan’s theorems. Discusses the application of Boolean algebra to the solution of combinational logic circuit topologies. Examines the basic bi-stable memory storage element (flip-flops) and applies it to the concept of sequential circuits such as ripple counters, synchronous counters, Johnson counters, ring counters, and shift registers. Includes an analysis and design perspective of combinational and sequential circuits. Some computer simulations required.
