CSCE 211H Digital Logic Design

General Information

Description: The formal description is: Number Systems, Boolean algebra, logic design, and sequential machines.
  • Boolean algebra: algebraic simplification of Boolean functions
  • Number systems: binary and floating point representations, including performance and design of circuits for manipulation
  • Logic Design: combinational logic, design and simplification of circuits, ALU design
  • Sequential Machines - flip-flops, counters, registers and general sequential circuits.
  • Circuit design experiments - there will be several circuits that will be simulated and several actually implemented using a breadboard.

Prerequisites:  a grade of C in one of MATH 174 or MATH 141

Main text

  1. "Digital Design Principles and Practices," 4th edition, by John Wakerly, Prentice-Hall 2005.

Time and Location

    TTH 12:30AM- 1:45PM, SWGN 2A24, MATTHEWS M

GOAL The goal is for you to become a Logic Design Expert by learning

  • Number systems for Computers
  • Boolean algebra
  • Combinational circuits
  • Sequential circuits
  • VHDL
  • Memories
  • Programmable logic devices

Policies

Homework:
The homework is due before the start of class. No late homework or projects will be accepted. If you cannot make it to class due to other commitments, you can hand in your homework the day before it is due.

Grading policy:
The final grade will be based on two midterms, assignments and the final exam, according to the following weights:

  • Homework and Assignments: 20%
  • Two Tests: 20% each
  • Project: 20% each
  • Final: 20%

Academic Integrity

The homework and programs you submit for this class must be entirely your own. If this policy is not absolutely clear, then please contact me. Any other collaboration of any type on any assignment is not permitted. It is also your responsibility to protect your work from unauthorized access. You are reminded that you are expected to know and follow the academic code of responsibility that appears in at Carolina Community: Student Handbook & Policy Guide, (Link to actual section) In particular all work submitted for this course must be your own. Violations of this code can result in actions varying from a failing grade to expulsion from the university.

Solutions to midterms will be distributed when the exams are returned, usually within one week of the exam.

Questions about grading of midterms and labs must be presented to the instructor within one week after the tests or lab reports have been returned.
