Digital Systems Design

What you’ll study

Introduction: introductory concepts, logic gates and Boolean algebra. Combinatorial Logic: combinational circuit design using logic gates and universal gates, minimization of switching functions, algebraic simplification, the Karnaugh map, prime implicants. Introduction to VHDL and CAD tools — hardware description and simulation. Sequential Logic: NAND and NOR latches, clocked SR, JK, D and T flip-flops, FF timing, master-slave flip-flops. Complex sequential logic: frequency division and counting, asynchronous and synchronous counters, shift registers, the digital clock, MSI logic circuits, decoders and encoders. Multiplexers and demultiplexers; analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion. Memory devices: ROM, EPROM, EEPROM, static and dynamic RAM. Arithmetic circuits: the half-adder, full-adder, parallel adders and 2's-complement addition.
