THEORY
This course presents an introduction to Digital System concepts and to Digital Design. The target is to present classic and modern design methodologies along with the operation of modern integrated circuits. This course places the foundations to computer organization architecture and development of digital systems.
The course covers the following topics:
- Number systems and conversions.
- Boolean algebra and its application in analysis and design of logic circuits.
- Logic gates and circuits.
- Techniques for analysis and synthesis of combinational and sequential logic systems.
- Introduction to fundamental memory elements, flip-flops, counters, FSMs.The course covers the basics of Digital Systems, Logic Operations and the design of Digital Logic Systems.
