Course Goal(s):

The goal of this course is to make students proficient in the analysis and design of combinational and sequential circuits.

Instructional Outcomes for the Course:

Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:

1. Explain the difference between combinational and sequential networks.

2. Perform arithmetic operations in a given radix.

3. Given a set of weights, construct a weighted code.

4. Apply the laws of Boolean algebra to the manipulation and simplification of algebraic expressions.

5. Convert a logic function between various forms, including truth table, minterm list, maxterm list, and Boolean equation.

6. Obtain the minimum sum-of-products or product-of-sums of a function from a K-map.

7. Analyze a given combinational logic diagram to determine its function.

8. Given a word description of a logic function, design and draw a minimal logic diagram using standard logic components.

9. Draw logic and timing diagrams using proper symbols and documentation conventions, and write functional description of logic circuits.

10 . Describe the logical operation of standard combinational logic components, including decoders, encoders, multiplexers, adders/subtractors and ALU’s.

11. Explain the operation of the S-R latch, S-R flip-flop, D latch, D flip-flop, and J-K and T flip-flops.

12. Draw or analyze timing diagram from a given sequential circuit.

13. Draw a state diagram of a given sequential function, and design the corresponding sequential circuit.

14. Utilize a top-down modular design process to complete a medium complexity combinational logic design project that meets certain constraints such as using a limited number and type of gates.
