Introduction to Digital Systems.
Basics of digital data representation. Logical design and optimization with small scale integrated circuits using gates, flip-flops, registers and counters. Logical design with medium scale integrated circuits. Computer arithmetic. Bus structure and tri-state devices. ALUs and memory. Design of synchronous and asynchronous circuits. Introduction to VHDL. Four hours a week
include lectures, problem periods, and laboratory sessions.
Fall (Cr.3) Prerequisite:
MATH 104. GOALS: To introduce electrical and computer engineering students to the analysis and design of digital circuits. The course includes lecture, hardware laboratory, simulation, and problem session components. Text:
