Course Description:

This course covers the topics on logic circuits and

minimization, Combinational and sequential logic circuits,
Programmable Logic devices, State table and state
diagrams, Digital ICs, Arithmetic operations and
algorithms, Introduction to Computer organization,
Algorithmic State Machines.

Scope and Objective:

The objective of the course is to impart knowledge of the

basic tools for the design of digital circuits and to provide
methods and procedures suitable for a variety of digital
design applications. The course also introduces
fundamental concepts of computer organization. The
course also provides laboratory practice using MSI devices,
Xilinx ISE software tools and FPGA.
