SWITCHING THEORY AND LOGIC DESIGN


Course Objectives:

This course provides in-depth knowledge of switching theory and the design techniques of digital circuits, which is the basis for design of any digital circuit. The main objectives are:

  • To learn basic techniques for the design of digital circuits and fundamental concepts used in the design of digital systems.
  • To understand common forms of number representation in digital electronic circuits and to be able to convert between different representations.
  • To implement simple logical operations using combinational logic circuits
  • To design combinational logic circuits, sequential logic circuits.
  • To impart to student the concepts of sequential circuits, enabling them to analyze sequential systems in terms of state machines.
  • To implement synchronous state machines using flip-flops.
