This course is Digital Electronics, offered by the Department of Electronics Engineering Technology.

The textbook for this course is Floyd's Digital Fundamentals (11th Edition at the moment).

Try my1digitaljs - a Basic Digital Electronics Simulator (notice, NOT logic simulator :p) that I have developed for PGT104. Based on SimCirJS, the source is available here. Some video guides are available on Youtube

Please note that this is a continuously updated site. Check the timestamps/dates (if any) to make sure that the information is applicable to current course implementation. Some information are from the previous ones.

Introduction and discussion of fundamental of digital circuit design and analysis. The lecture and tutorial exercise covers the following topics: Boolean Algebra, Numbering System, Basic Logic Gates, Combinational Circuit Design, Timing Diagram, Bi-Stable Memory Device and Sequential Circuit Design.

Note: These have been slightly re-written from the original/previous session

• CO1: Ability to describe numbering systems and boolean algebra
• CO2: Ability to analyze Boolean expressions and logic circuits for a simple digital system
• CO3: Ability to design combinational or sequential logic circuits for a simple digital system

A more practical implementation of Digital Electronic Courses:

• Digital 1
  • base-n numbering systems
  • basic logic (truth table, boolean equation, boolean algebra, POS/SOP form)
  • combinational logic (basic gates)
  • combinational logic implementation (e.g. adder) ← just pick one example
  • sequential logic (basic flip-flop)
• Digital 2 :
  • combinational logic circuits (mux, decoder, encoder)
  • practical application: e.g. instruction decoder, address decoding, etc.
  • sequential logic circuits (registers, counters)
  • practical application: e.g. program counter
  • state machines

Note: If Digital 1 is seen as too light, the combinational logic circuits topic from 2 can be shifted into 1… then, some basic Computer Architecture stuffs can be put into 2.

Maybe something like this…
