Digital logic
4 points * Two 1-hour lectures per week and 20 hours of laboratory classes * First semester * Clayton * Prohibitions: CSC1021, PHS2041 RDT1111
Objectives On completion of the subject students should be able to manipulate circuits by a variety of techniques including engineering design methods, formal logic transformations and tabular simplification methods; design, construct and analyse digital circuits; and construct a very simple computer.
Synopsis This subject aims to provide an understanding of the design and construction of digital logic devices. The subject covers Boolean algebra, gates and combinatorial logic, Karnaugh maps, flip flops, sequential circuit design, clocked synchronous logic, race conditions, encoding and decoding, multiplexing, adders and multipliers, buses, error detection and correction, processor implementation, timing, analysis and syntheses of control mechanisms. The practical component is based upon the digital hardware laboratories.
Assessment Examination (2 hours): 80% * Laboratory work: 20% * Compulsory laboratory class attendance
