Course Description

This course continues the study of combinational and sequential digital design. The input and output characteristics of the various common logic families and the appropriate signal conditioning techniques for on/off power interfacing are discussed. Also stressed are standard logic function blocks, digital and analog signal interfacing techniques, memory devices, finite-state-machines, and basic computer architecture.

Reports

All lab reports are due one week after the day of the lab (at the beginning of class).

Project reports are due at the announced due dates. Reports must be neatly hand written or typed on 8 1/2 by 11 inch paper. Your name should be on each page. Reports must contain the following:

1. A title page with a report title, your name, date, course number, and professor's name.

2. An Abstract giving a brief overview of the entire report.

3. A Theory and Description section containing the details of the project. This should include:

a. A Problem Statement

b. A Design Process section including derivation of logic equations, their simplification, logic diagrams, schematics, etc.

4. A Discussion and Results section including a description of any problems encountered, suggestions for project modification, lessons learned, and answers to any questions posed as part of the project assignment.

Late Work

Any assignments handed in late will automatically loose 25% of the possible points.

Any assignments handed in more than one week late will receive NO points.

Homework

Homework assignments will be assigned during lecture (with due dates). You must rewrite the problem statement for each problem and draw a box around each answer asked for. Also, all work must be shown (and easily readable) to receive full credit for the problem.
