* Prerequisites: RDT1210, RDT1220

Objectives At the completion of the subject, students should be able to analyse representative problems in digital logic; carry out appropriate logic minimisation on digital circuits; and design, construct and test digital circuitry of moderate complexity using contemporary-technology methods.

Synopsis In this subject, students build on their work in DGS1111 to further their skills in solving problems through the construction of digital circuits; advance their knowledge and skills in the techniques of digital circuit design; and advance their knowledge of the design techniques and methods for digital circuits, implementation using higher-density packaging technologies such as PAL, ASIC and FPGA. The syllabus covers practical combinational circuit design and implementation, arithmetic circuits, iterative cell circuits; design of synchronous state machines, ASM charts and ASM synthesis; programmable logic devices - ROMs, PLAs, PALs, and GALs; combinational and sequential circuit design using PLDs; CAD tools for implementation of PLDs; memories - ROMs, SRAMs, DRAMs.

Assessment Practical work, assignments and class tests: 40%
* Written examination (3 hours): 60%
