ELEC 326: Digital Logic Design

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.

Tentative topics and outline

• Combinational Logic Elements: Introduction to the functional and physical properties of integrated circuit gates.
• Combinational Logic Design Techniques: Formal synthesis techniques for designing combinational logic networks.
• Combinational Building Blocks: Discussion of several commonly encountered combinational gate networks.
• Basic Storage Elements: Introduction to the behavior and structure of integrated circuit latches, flip-flops, and registers.
• Sequential Circuits: Formal synthesis techniques for realizing sequential circuits that are synchronized by a clock signal.
• Sequential Building Blocks: Discussion of several commonly encountered sequential networks.
• Asynchronous Sequential Circuits: Introduction to the properties of sequential circuits that are not synchronized by a clock signal.

Textbook: Fundamentals of Digital Logic with Verilog Design by Brown and Vranesic.
