What you'll learn

The Digital System Design course offers a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental principles and practical approaches in the design of digital systems. This course begins with number systems and binary codes before progressing through combinational and sequential circuit design. Students will explore the theory and implementation of logic gates, Boolean algebra, minimization techniques such as Karnaugh Maps, and various combinational circuits like adders, multiplexers, and encoders. The course delves deeper into sequential circuits, including flip-flops, counters, and shift registers, emphasizing their real-world applications. Further, it introduces memory devices and programmable logic components such as ROM, RAM, PAL, and PLA and FPGA fundamentals.
