Course Objectives
The course aims at giving the fundamental concepts, the design process and the tools that is needed for digital design. Digital circuits nowadays are the building blocks of almost all electronic equipment and gadgets such as computers, communication devices, image processing devices business transactions, military equipment etc. of this digital age. The course covers basic design principals of digital circuits plus popular digital and arithmetic circuit, both combinational and sequential. Up to date digital
design flow using high level language and programmable logic devices are also introduced. To support the course materials apart from assignments, tutorials are also given on weekly basis plus practical experiments as laboratory work.
Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs)
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to:
1. Describe the basic design principals of digital circuits and popular digital and arithmetic circuit, both combinational and sequential 2. Describe the use of logic gates in the realization to Boolean algebra statements
3. Specify basic digital circuits using high-level languages and programmable logic
4. Optimize the design parameters of the given problem to meet specific design criteria
5. Derive digital circuit models and solutions to design the final circuits
6. Use tools in their experimental endeavors in the laboratory to proof their concept and correctness of their design. Tools used are: Logic probe and the Digital Design Workstation (i.e. prototyping breadboard) - Model PB503.
7. To understand the limitations of digital circuit design tools in terms of resistance and the capacitance of the measuring equipment and the experimental setups and their effects on power, speed, noise and signal levels.
Graduate Attributes
This course emphasizes and develops the following CEAB (Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board) graduate attributes and indicators:
1. A knowledge base for engineering (KB): Demonstrated competence in university level mathematics, natural sciences, engineering fundamentals, and specialized engineering knowledge appropriate to the program.
2. Design (DE): An ability to design solutions for complex, open-ended engineering problems and to design systems, components or processes that meet specified needs with appropriate attention to health and safety risks, applicable standards, and economic, environmental, cultural and societal considerations.
3. Use of engineering tools (UET): An ability to create, select, apply, adapt, and extend appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering tools to a range of engineering activities, from simple to complex, with an understanding of the associated limitations.
