Synopsis: The design and implementation of common digital logic families and practical considerations in logic design including noise margin and timing constraints. A simple microprocessor architecture is introduced and this material is extended to consider how a microprocessor, memory and other peripheral circuits are connected to form a working system. The software and hardware required to interface a computer to the outside world are examined.

Assessment: Examination (3 hours): 70% + Laboratory and assignment work: 30%
