EE 129 - Introduction to Digital Logic Circuits

Lecture Hours: 3
Lab Hours: 0
Credit Hours: 3

Introduction to the fundamentals of combinational and sequential digital logic circuits. Combinational logic topics include number systems and information representations, switching algebra, basic logic gates, and logic circuit minimization. Medium-scale functions such as multiplexers, decoders, and adders are also covered. Sequential logic topics include latches and flip-flops, clocks, timing analysis, and metastability. Combinational logic and flip-flop principles are used in conjunction with state concepts to analyze and synthesize sequential machines. Medium-scale sequential functions such as registers, counters, and shift registers are also covered. Emphasis is placed on the analysis and synthesis procedures used to design combinational and sequential logic systems. Note: ECE majors must complete this course with a grade of C or better. Prerequisite(s): EE 111-EE 115 or permission of the instructor.
