Objectives

To impart to you a formalism of logic enabling you to analyse logical processes
To enable you to implement simple logical operations using combinational logic circuits
To enable you to understand common forms of number representation in digital electronic circuits and to be able to convert between different representations
To enable you to understand the logical operation of simple arithmetic and other MSI circuits (Medium Scale Integrated Circuits)
To impart to you the concepts of sequential circuits enabling you to analyse sequential systems in terms of state machines
To enable you to implement synchronous state machines using flip-flops
