ECE 0201 - DIGITAL CIRCUITS AND SYSTEMS


Minimum Credits: 4
Maximum Credits: 4
In this course, students study the fundamental building blocks used in the design of modern digital electronics and computers. Students learn how to use and combine digital components to create circuits that perform fundamental computing tasks such as arithmetic and storage of information. Primary topics covered include Boolean algebra and binary arithmetic, combinational and sequential logic circuits, Finite-State Machine (FSM), Hardware Design Language (HDL), and Register Transfer Level (RTL) for digital design. Students extend their knowledge to practice by way of hands-on laboratory exercises where various software and hardware tools are used to design and test solutions for real-world applications. After completing this course, students understand the design of digital computing systems at their most fundamental level and are able to craft such systems using modern tools and techniques.
