Digital Systems

The purpose of this course is to provide to the students a detailed knowledge of the basic hardware elements of computer systems. Specifically, starting from the basic concepts of binary logic and logic circuits, students shall learn to use the building blocks of digital systems, as well as design and analyze both combinational and sequential digital circuits.

Objectives

In depth, digital design course deals with the following: - Binary numbers and arithmetic - Logic gates and standards symbolism - Basic concepts of logic circuits - Boole Algebra, logic functions and simplification methods, digital circuits synthesis and analysis - Combinational circuits - Binary Adder, half adder, full adder, parallel adder and subtractor circuits - Comparator , Decoder - Encoder circuits - Demultiplexer , Multiplexer circuits - Programmable logical arrays - Analysis and design of synchronous/asynchronous sequential circuits - Introduction to VHDL - Exercises
