Objectives The student is expected to acquire a basic knowledge and understanding of the discrete representation of information and its processing in digital logic systems, the flexibility and diversity of applications of digital logic, both combinational and sequential logic implementations, and the non-ideal properties of logic circuits and their design constraints.
Synopsis An introduction to modern logic design, hardware and representations. Two and multi-level combinational logic, programmable and steering logic, flip-flops, registers, counters and RAM, finite-state machine design, optimisation and implementation. Laboratories cover logic design, implementation, testing and CAD.
Assessment Examination (2 hours): 80% + Practical work/Laboratory work: 20%
