VII - Course Description:

This is core course of Electrical and Electronic Engineering program that presents basic tools for the design
of digital circuits. It serves as a building block in many disciplines that utilize data of digital nature like
digital control, data communication, digital computers etc. The goal of this course is to:
Perform arithmetic operations in many number systems.
Manipulate Boolean algebraic structures.
Simplify the Boolean expressions using Karnaugh Map.
Implement the Boolean Functions using NAND and NOR gates.
Analyze and design various combinational logic circuits.
Storage Elements: Introduction to the behavior and structure of latches, flip-flops, and
registers.
Understand the importance of state diagram representation of sequential circuits.
Sequential Circuits: Analyze and design clocked sequential circuits.
Timing Analysis: Introduction to timing analysis of combinational and sequential circuits

Briefly introduce the concept of Hardware Description Language (HDL) using VHDL

VIII Objectives:
The objectives of the course can be grouped into two categories. The first one relates to understanding the
basics of Boolean algebra and the operation of logic components, combinational, and sequential circuits.
The second set of objectives relates to the design of digital circuits and systems.

XII Teaching Methods

Formal lectures will provide the theoretical base for the subject as well as covering its practical application.
A set of lecture notes, tutorial examples, with subsequent discussion and explanation, together with suggested
reading will support and direct the students in their own personal study.
Maximum topics will be covered from the textbook. For the rest of the topics, reference books will be
followed. Some Class notes will be uploaded on the web. White board will be used for most of the time.
For some cases, multimedia projector will be used for the convenience of the students.
Students must study up to the last lecture before coming to the class and it is suggested that they should go
through the relevant chapter before coming to the class. Just being present in the class is not enoughstudents must participate in classroom discussions.
Few assignments will be given to the students based on that class to test their class performance.
