Objectives At the completion of the subject, students should understand digital-logic concepts, including binary codes, binary arithmetic, Boolean algebra, and logic minimisation techniques; have a working knowledge of a number of basic digital devices such as decoders, multiplexers, latches and flip-flops; and be able to design, implement, test and evaluate TTL circuits of up to ten SSI/MSI chips complexity.
Synopsis In this subject, students are introduced to digital-logic concepts, and the implementation and usage of digital logic in basic digital circuits. 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. In the laboratory classes, students will use CAD tools for logic design and simulation work, as well as a `chip-kit' and prototype wiring system.
Assessment Tests, assignment and tutorial work: 15%
