Integrated course unit module: DIGITAL ELECTRONICS: FUNDAMENTALS AND LABORATORY

Learning objectives

The course provides the basic information needed to the understanding of digital systems operating principles. After completing this course, students acquire a functional vision of digital systems, familiarize with some of the basic CAD tools and are able to complete simple design experiences.

Prerequisites

Course unit content

Introduction to electronic systems: components and basic functions.
Concept of signal and signal processing; analog, digital and binary representations of information .
Abstraction of physical systems: hierarchy of description levels. Functional and structural description of digital systems. Analysis and synthesis processes. Logical networks: definitions and introductory concepts. Elementary logical operations. Combinational and sequential systems.
Computer-Aided design tools: schematic entry, simulation.
Design of combinational systems: logic functions and their implementation, truth tables, Karnaugh maps; equivalent functions: minimization, algorithms and software tools.
Automatic synthesis of combinational systems. NAND- and NOR-based synthesis.
Programmable devices: MUX, ROM, PAL, PLA.
Non-idealities: propagation delays, glitches.
Sequential systems: concepts and definitions. Memory elements. Synchronous and asynchronous sequential networks. Finite state machines: description, optimization and synthesis.
Design of synchronous systems: algorithms and software tools.
Asynchronous systems: non-idealities, transient effects (glitches, races), fail-safe design criteria.
Complex functional elements: ALU, registers, counters.
