Topics:

The following outline represents a general structure for the course:

WEEKS	TOPICS
Week 1	Number systems, binary arithmetic, signed numbers, binary codes
Week 2	Basics of Boolean algebra, algebraic simplification, canonical and standard forms
Week 3	Karnaugh maps, SOP and POS simplification, two level design
Week 4	NAND and NOR designs, analysis and design of multilevel circuits, EXOR gates, parity bit generation
Week 5	Introduction to hardware description language (HDL), lab implementation
Week 6	Combinational circuit blocks: Adders, multipliers, comparators, lab implementation
Week 7	Combinational circuit blocks: Decoders, encoders, multiplexers and combinational circuit implementation using these, lab implementation
Week 8	Latch circuits, flip-flops, triggering of flip-flops, lab implementation
Week 9	Analysis of synchronous sequential circuits, the state table and the state diagram, lab implementation
Week 10	Midterm Exam
Week 11	Design of synchronous sequential circuits, state assignment and state reduction, lab implementation
Week 12	Registers, shift registers, synchronous and asynchronous counters, lab implementation
Week 13	Memory structures, RAM memories, memory decoding, error correcting codes, lab implementation
Week 14	Programmable logic arrays: ROM, PLA, PAL and FPGA

Attendance:

Daily attendance is strongly encouraged for the lectures. Any student missing a lecture is responsible for all material assigned or covered in class during his or her absence. Attendance for the lab sessions is a MUST; if you fail attending the lab, you fail the course.

Grading:

Lab 25%, one midterm exam 25%, and a final exam 50%.
