Digital Circuits III

This course is made up of 2 hours lecture and 2 hours 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 advanced digital logic circuits. The TTL and CMOS type of logic families will be used and emphasized in the laboratory component of the course. Topics covered include, review of combinational and sequential logic circuits, analogue-to-digital and digital-to-analogue circuits, TTL and CMOS family characteristics, multivibrators and timer circuits, computer memory types and characteristics, and microprocessor fundamentals. Students will work in groups to complete projects with ICs, sensors and microcontrollers. Simulation models will be built with Proteus package. Design techniques and programming techniques learned in this course will be useful not only for their final Technical Project (TECH 6100) and data acquisition systems but also in their future career.
