This course provides a comprehensive introduction to digital logic design, covering fundamental concepts including number systems, Boolean algebra, logic gates, and combinational circuits. Students will learn to design, analyze, and implement digital logic circuits essential for computer engineering applications.

8. Detailed Course Description

This Digital Logic Design course offers a thorough exploration of the fundamental building blocks of digital systems. The curriculum begins with an in-depth study of number systems, including binary, octal, hexadecimal, and their conversions, which form the mathematical foundation for digital circuit design.

Students will master Boolean algebra principles, learning about Boolean operations, identities, and theorems that govern digital logic. The course extensively covers logic gates - the basic components of digital circuits - including AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR, XOR, and XNOR gates, examining their truth tables, symbols, and practical implementations.

A significant portion of the course is dedicated to combinational logic circuits, where students learn to design circuits whose outputs depend solely on the current inputs. Key topics include canonical forms (Sum of Products and Product of Sums), Karnaugh maps for logic simplification, and the design of common combinational circuits such as adders, subtractors, multiplexers, demultiplexers, encoders, and decoders.

The course emphasizes practical applications through hands-on exercises and projects, enabling students to translate theoretical concepts into functional digital circuits. Problem-solving skills are developed through numerous design examples and optimization techniques that are crucial for efficient digital system implementation.

By the conclusion of the course, students will have developed the ability to analyze, design, and optimize digital logic circuits, preparing them for advanced topics in computer architecture, microprocessor design, and digital system implementation. The knowledge gained forms an essential foundation for careers in computer engineering, hardware design, and embedded systems development.

Assessment typically includes theoretical examinations, practical laboratory work, and design projects that challenge students to apply their knowledge to real-world digital logic problems. The course serves as a prerequisite for more advanced subjects in the computer engineering curriculum, including computer organization, microprocessor systems, and VLSI design.
