ET 212B - Digital Logic I

Credits: 4

Description
This course is the first semester of a one-year of courses on digital logic. It covers number systems, logic gates, Boolean algebra and Karnaugh mapping, binary arithmetic and adders, combinational/sequential circuits and their applications. Students taking this course should have a basic understanding of electrical/electronics theory.

Student Learning Outcomes

Distinguish the advantages between digital circuits versus analog circuits and straight binary codes verses BCD codes.
Perform conversions between binary, decimal and hexadecimal.
Evaluate logic circuits and their outputs using Boolean algebra.
Design digital circuits using Karnaugh Maps and DeMorgan theorm. Implement the Boolean expressions that result from the design as working circuits.
Implement digital circuits that do binary arithmetic operations.
Analyze parallel adder with 2’s-complement.
Distinguish advantages between asynchronous counters and synchronous counters.
Build a frequency counters.
