EGR-2440 Digital Logic Design

Credits 3
Introduction to the theory and practice of logic (digital) circuits in order to foster an understanding of modern electrical circuits. Includes but is not limited to the following subjects: Number systems and base conversions; Boolean algebra, truth tables, logic circuits, logic circuits synthesis and implementation; Karnaugh maps (and other strategies of minimization); sequential logic; flip-flops; registers; counters; processors (simple); programmable logic devices; and characteristics of logic families. Some physical hardware is discussed including limitations. This course emphasizes the elements used to create logic circuits and the software (CAD/EDA) used to design and simulate logic circuits. Teamwork and communication skills (oral, written, and graphical) are exercised throughout the course.
Prerequisite(s): EGR-1010, MAT-2420, and PHY-1030.
Course Outcomes

Design and build logic circuits that incorporate fundamental circuit elements.
Describe various logic building blocks.
Explain specification sheets.
Analyze moderately complex logic circuits (combinational and synchronous at a minimum), including use of a simulation tool for the analysis.
Illustrate digital system designs of complex logic circuits.
Write and execute a timing simulation.
