Textbook: Digital Logic Circuit Analysis and Design, by V.P. Nelson, H.T. Nagle, B.D. Carroll & J.D. Irwin,
Prentice-Hall, 1995.
Goals: This course introduces the student to the design of digital logic circuits, both combinational and
sequential, and the design of digital systems in a hierarchical, top-down manner. The student is also introduced to the use of computer-aided design tools to develop digital circuits.
Prerequisites by topic: Introductory computer programming in a high level language. Course Outline & Schedule: Week Topics Introduction to digital systems 1 Number systems and codes 2 Boolean algebra 3 Switching functions and canonical forms 4 Design and analysis of combinational circuits 5 Circuit minimization via Karnaugh maps, Test #1 9/19 6 Timing issues, Schematic capture and simulation tools 7 Common combinational logic circuits 8 Latches and flip flops 9 Counters and shift registers, Test #2 10/19 10 Synchronous sequential circuit analysis 11 Synchronous sequential circuit design 12 Simulation and timing analysis of sequential circuits 13 Optimization of synchronous circuits sequential 14 Programmable logic devices, Test #3 11/30 15 Semester review Final Exam: Saturday 12/8 2-4:30pm 16 Textbook Sections 0.2 1.1-1.5 2.1 2.2 2.3-2.5 3.1-3.7 3.8, 2.7 4.1-4.7 6.3-6.4 7.1, 7.3-7.5 8.1-8.2 8.3-8.4 8.5 9.1-9.4 5.3-5.4, 11.1-11.3
Method of evaluating student performance: There will be three exams (contributing 20% each to the
course grade) and a comprehensive final exam (contributing 20% to the course grade) in addition to homework/design projects (contributing 20% to the course grade). All exams will be closed-book, closednotes, and closed-neighbor. No electronics of any kind (calculator, cell phone, iPOD, PDAs, etc.) can be used during exams. There will be no unannounced quizzes. All projects and assignments must be turned in on or before the designated time to receive credit. Each student is expected to do his/her own project or assignment. Discussion of various aspects of the project or assignment with fellow...
