Catalog Data & Credits (Recitation-Lab-Total)

EC262 Digital Systems (3-2-4): This course covers the fundamentals in realizing a digital system. Topics covered include Boolean algebra, Karnaugh mapping, flip-flops, state diagrams for system minimization and analysis of sequential and logic function circuits, binary arithmetic, decoders, encoders, multiplexers, and demultiplexers, as well as counter and register design. An introduction to complex programmable logic device (field programmable gate array) systems and VHDL is provided with applications to projects.

Pre-requisites

Course Objectives

1. Apply their knowledge of Boolean algebra to perform combinational logic circuit analysis and design.
2. Convert between decimal, binary, octal, and hexadecimal number systems and perform computations involving signed binary number systems.
3. Analyze and design sequential logic circuits using state-machine design techniques.
4. Incorporate logic devices such as adders, multiplexers, decoders, counters and complex programmable logic devices in combinational and sequential circuit designs and demonstrate design functionality through simulation or experimental implementation.
5. Demonstrate the ability to design, construct, test, and debug logic circuits in a laboratory environment.
6. Demonstrate the ability to properly record and report laboratory work
7. Work in a team setting to accomplish engineering tasks.
8. Demonstrate the ability to use computer-based simulation tools to design, analyze, and implement logic circuits.
9. Compute voltage, current, and power relations in three-phase, wye, and delta circuits.
10. Analyze and explain DC motors and AC generators. Predict electrical and mechanical performance in terms of input power, output power, losses, and efficiency.
