This course takes the student from the very basics of digital electronics to an introduction of state-of-the-art techniques used in the field. It is ideal for any engineering or science student who wishes to study the subject from its basic principles as well as serving as a guide to more advanced topics for readers already familiar with the subject. The course covers the basic building blocks of digital systems and the process of building a digital design project and testing it. The laboratory exercises are designed to complement the theory of digital circuits.
The coverage is sufficiently in-depth to allow the reader to progress smoothly onto higher level texts.
After studying this course, students will get the ability to
1) Identify the difference between digital and analog signals
2) Identify the performance of digital logic circuit,
3) Design the digital circuit
4) Anaylze the combinational logic circuit
