Digital logic is the representation of signals and sequences of a digital circuit through numbers. It is the basis for digital computing and provides a fundamental understanding on how circuits and hardware communicate within a computer. Digital logic is typically embedded into most electronic devices, including calculators, computers, video games, and watches. This field is utilized by many careers that work with computers and technology, such as engineers and repair technicians.The Evolution of computers and impact on society: different types of computers; essential parts of a computer. Analogue versus digital representation of physical quantities; digital signals.
Language of computers: binary number system; decimal and hexadecimal representations; decimal and binary codes; introduction to binary logic.
Boolean algebra: definitions, theorems and properties; Boolean functions; logic operations, basic logic gates, truth tables; representing Boolean equations using logic gates and vice versa.
Simplification of Boolean functions: algebraic and Karnaugh map methods; NAND and NOR implementations; equivalent gate representations; active logic states; enabling/disabling logic circuits.
Decoders, encoders, multiplexers, demultiplexers and their applications; seven-segment displays and decoders. Unsigned and signed arithmetic; overflow condition; design of arithmetic circuits.
Flip-flops and sequential logic circuits: counters and registers. MSI Logic Circuits and Programmable Logic Devices.
