DIGITAL CIRCUITS

The "Digital Circuits" course provides a thorough introduction to the design and analysis of digital circuits, which are the building blocks of modern electronic systems such as computers, communication devices, and embedded systems. This course is designed for students and professionals in electronics engineering and related fields. Starting with the basics, you will explore binary numbers, Boolean algebra, and the functions of basic logic gates. The course will guide you through the design and optimization of combinational logic circuits, including adders, multiplexers, decoders, and encoders. You will learn techniques for simplifying complex logic circuits using Boolean algebra and Karnaugh maps. The course will then delve into sequential logic circuits, introducing components such as flip-flops, counters, and shift registers. You will study the principles of synchronous and asynchronous circuit design and learn how to develop state machines for controlling complex digital systems. Advanced topics will include digital circuit simulation, timing analysis, and an introduction to programmable logic devices (PLDs) such as field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). The course will also cover the basics of hardware description languages (HDLs) like VHDL and Verilog, which are used for designing and implementing digital systems. Through a combination of theoretical lessons, practical exercises, and hands-on projects, you will gain the skills necessary to design, analyze, and troubleshoot digital circuits for various applications.
