Course Description:	. This course teaches students fundamental knowledge in Digital Design. The course covers the basic of 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, memories, basic computer organization and design. Hardware Description Language, VHDL.Understanding of digital logic at the gate and switch level including both Combinational and Sequential logic elements. Understanding of the clocking methodologies necessary to manage the flow of information and preservation of circuit state. An appreciation for the specification methods used in designing digital logic and the basics of the compilation process that transforms these specifications into logic networks. Finally, it outlines the understanding of VHDL and designing with FPGA.
