Classroom and Meeting Time:
Course Description: Boolean algebra, number systems, data representation, logic theorems, canonical forms, simplification techniques, logic gates, design of combinational circuits, timing and timing problems, sequential circuits, design of sequential circuits and the algorithmic state machine, programmable logic devices, register operations, basic computer organization and design.
Course Objectives: To offer the students an introduction to the world of digital systems by exposing them to the different ways information can be digitalized, processed and benefited from. The course starts with a thorough treatment of number systems and their representation in binary form, to continue with the introduction of Boolean algebra, logic gates, the design of combinatorial first and sequential circuits afterwards. Timing and the statemachine algorithms will also be covered, to conclude with important topics as programmable logic devices, register operations and finally basic computer organization and design.
