Numbers: binary, octal, hex. Binary codings: BCD, Gray, ASCII. Data transmission: parallel, sync/async serial, parity bits, error detection and correction. Logic operations: logic gates, ICs and logic families. Logic functions and circuits: standard forms, minimisation, Boolean algebra. Decoders, muxes, adders, ROMs and PLDs in combinational logic design, Latches and flip flops. Design of sequential logic circuits: counters, registers and state machines.
