This course focuses on the fundamentals of digital circuit. Topics include binary number, logical algebra and its calculation, basic logic gate, combinational logic circuit, sequential circuit, arithmetic circuit and synchronous logic circuit. Most of electronic devices consists of digital circuit technique. By combining lectures and exercises, the course enables students to understand and acquire the fundamentals of logic circuit so that students can design a simple circuit. Students will experience the satisfaction of solving practical circuit problems by using their knowledge regarding a logic circuit acquired through this course.
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Understand and explain the fundamentals of logical algebra and logic gates.
2) Understand and design a simple logic circuit by using hardware description language (HDL).
3) Analyze and design a simple combinational logic circuit.
4) Analyze and design a simple sequential logic circuit.
5) Analyze and design a simple arithmetic logic circuit.
6) Explain memory and bus arrangement.

✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
At the beginning of each class, solutions to exercise problems that were given at the previous class are reviewed. Towards the end of class, students are given exercise problems related to the lecture given that day to solve. To prepare for class, students should read the course schedule section and check what topics will be covered. Required learning should be completed outside of the classroom for preparation and review purposes.
