SWITCHING THEORY AND LOGIC DESIGN:

This course is a comprehensive study of principles and techniques of designing
digital systems. It teaches the fundamentals of digital systems applying the logic
design and development techniques. This course is intended for two or four year
program in electrical and electronic engineering and technology. Although a
background in basic electronics is helpful, most of the material requires no training
in electronics.
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Students will learn principles of digital systems logic design and distinguish
between analog and digital representations. They will be able to analyze a given
combinational or sequential circuit using k-map and Boolean algebra as a tool to
simplify and design logic circuits. Construct and analyze the operation of a latch
flip-flop and its application in synchronization circuits.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:
• Understand the different number system, its conversions and binary
arithmetic.
• Know the fundamentals of Boolean algebra and theorems, Karnaugh maps
including the minimization of logic functions to SOP or POS form.
• Analysis of logic circuits and optimization techniques to minimize gate
count, signals, IC count, or time delay.
• To strengthen the principles of logic design and use of simple memory
devices, flip-flops, and sequential circuits.
• To fortify the documentation standards for logic designs, standard sequential
devices, including counters and registers.
• To understand the logic design of programmable devices, including PLDs,
RAMS, and ROMS including its sequencing and control.
STUDENT COMPETENCIES:
In order to successfully meet the course objectives, students will be able to:
• Differentiate between analog and digital representations.
