Course
Rationale
Digital Electronics course provides an introduction to the
control of engineering systems using programmable
logic, with specific focus on programmable logic devices. Within this context it introduces the fundamentals of
digital logic, digital arithmetic, programmable logic and computer
architecture. Research skills and aspects of professional practice are
developed through group-based assignments. It emphasizes on techniques
to design, analyse, plan, and implement complex digital systems.
Course Objective
The goal is to teach independently or
work in a team to build simple logic circuits using basic gates as well as able
to simplify Boolean functions by using the basic Boolean properties. Another
goal is to teach how to design simple combinational logics using basic gates
and to optimize Boolean logic using Karnaugh maps, even considering "don't
care" condition. The course will also introduce the basic sequential logic
components: SR Latch, D Flip-Flop and their usage and make the students able to
analyse sequential logic circuits.
Course Outcomes (CO’s)
|
CO1
|
Able to
perform the conversion among different number systems. Be introduced to basic
logic gates- AND, OR and NOT, XOR, XNOR and be able to build simple logic
circuits using basic gates.
|
|
CO2
|
To implement
the basic properties of Boolean algebra to simplify Boolean functions and
construct circuits from them.
|
|
CO3
|
Able to minimize the Boolean functions using
Karnaugh maps and “don’t care” condition. Consequently a student can then design
any combinational circuits based on the real life scenarios.
|
|
CO4
|
To learn
basic sequential logic components such as SR Latch, D Flip-Flop, JK Flip-Flop
and their usage.
