Fall 2025 Lecture Laboratory Lower DivisionThis course establishes a foundation for concurrent digital systems. Common methods of describing digital circuit operation are studied along with the techniques for translation between any two methods. Basic building blocks of digital systems are defined and applied. Analysis techniques for combinational and sequential logic circuits or subsystems are covered. Computer-based development tools, programmable logic devices, and technical reference sources are used to build, test, and evaluate digital systems.
Learning Outcomes1Translate between any two forms of logic circuit descriptions: English, Boolean equation, Truth Table, Logic Diagram, Timing Diagram, Hardware Description language.
2Anticipate the output of functional blocks given the current inputs or a recent event.
3Validate the operation of any logic circuit using the simulator, Function generator, oscilloscope or DVM.
