Tentative topics and outline

This course concerns the design of digital systems using integrated circuits. The main emphasis is on the theoretical concepts and systematic synthesis techniques that can be applied to the design of practical digital systems.

• Combinational Logic: Introduction to the functional and physical properties of logic gates.
• Combinational Logic Design: Formal synthesis techniques for designing combinational logic networks.
• Combinational Building Blocks: Discussion of several commonly encountered combinational logic networks.
• Basic Storage Elements: Introduction to the behavior and structure of latches, flip-flops, and registers.
• Sequential Circuits: Formal synthesis techniques for realizing synchronous sequential circuits.
• Sequential Building Blocks: Discussion of several commonly encountered sequential networks.
• Timing Analysis: Introduction to timing analysis of combinartional and sequential circuits.
