ELEC 213 Digital Circuits
Principles of solid state devices will be utilized to study logic circuitry. Students will analyze, design, build, and troubleshoot logic gates, pulse and switching circuits, arithmetic circuits, counters, registers, input/output, clock and control circuits, and memory units. Digital TTL integrated circuits and other logic families will be compared. The principles learned will be applied to various digital instruments and digital computer circuitry.
Hours Weekly
3 hours lecture, 3 hours lab weekly
Course Objectives
- Describe differences between analog and digital representations by listing the advantages, disadvantages, and major
differences. - Convert between various number systems including decimal, binary, and hexadecimal.
- Perform arithmetic operations of decimal, binary, and hexadecimal numbers and analyze the operation of full adders and serial binary multiplier circuits using 1's and 2's complement methods.
- Interpret digital integrated circuit (IC) terminology as specified in manufacturers' data sheets and describe the characteristics of TTL and CMOS logic families.
- Describe the operation of, and construct truth tables for, logic gates and other devices including NOT, AND, NAND, OR, NOR, EX-OR, Mux, Demux, Latch, and Registers.
- Simplify, schematically represent, and build circuits from complex logic expressions by applying various reduction methods including laws, rules, theorems, and K-map techniques.
- Describe the operation of and uses for several types of Flip-Flop, Latch, and Register circuits (both synchronous and asynchronous).
- Describe the operation of several types of Digital-to-Analog and Analog-to-Digital Converters.
- Use the correct terminology associated with memory systems, determine the capacity of memory from its basic architecture, and combine memory ICs to increase both density and word size; and manipulate data within a memory IC based on its basic architecture, density, and word size.
- Demonstrate proper and safe soldering technique to build functional circuits.
