Digital Circuits I

This subject is made up of a 2 hour lecture and a 2 hour laboratory per week, so as to involve the student in both the theoretical and practical applications of digital electronics. Emphasis will be placed on the practical application of digital logic circuits. The TTL and CMOS type Sof logic families will be used and emphasized in the laboratory component of the course. Topics will include analog and digital signals and their characteristics, the binary, BCD, hexadecimal numbering systems, digital waveform timing, basic logic gates, Boolean algebra, and simplification of combinational logic circuits such as binary adders, parity generation and parity check circuits and sequential circuits such as Flip-flops including ripple counters. Students will work in groups to complete projects with ICs, sensors and microcontrollers. Simulation models will be built with Proteus package.
