ENEE 274 Digital Devices (3)

 

Required course for majors in the electrical specialty.

 

Catalog Description:

Digital electronics for the Electrical Engineering student.  Semiconductors, digital logic, logic design, digital devices.  Analysis of digital circuits employing digital devices.  Lecture 3 hours.  

 

Prerequisites:

ENEE 371, 372 with grades of C or better. 

 

Corequisite:

ENEE 276

 

Textbook/References:

Digital Principles and Design, D. Givone, McGraw-Hill, 2003.

 

Course Objectives: (numbers in brackets indicate the relationship to engineering program outcomes)

To cover the elements of theory and practice necessary for analysis and design of circuits using digital devices, for further study or professional practice. (1, 2)

By the end of the semester, the student should be able to design, analyze, and build circuits using standard devices such as combinational logic gates, flip-flops, and multiplexers, making use of concepts including Boolean algebra, Karnaugh maps, and state tables and diagrams. (1, 2, 4)

 

Class/Laboratory Schedule:

Lecture either three times per week at 50 minutes per class, or two times per week at 75 minutes per class.

 

Topics covered:

Chapter 1 is a general introduction to the course.  Please read Chapter 2

·   Number systems--conversion and operation; binary coded digits; complement arithmetic

·   Truth functions--problem statements; logic operations

Chapter 3      

·   Boolean algebra--algebra of logic function; simplification of functions by axioms and theorems

    Appendix A

·   Devices--logic circuits; why they work; RTL; TTL; fanout; noise margin

Chapter 4      

·   Minimization of Boolean functions using Karnaugh maps

·   Multiple output circuits     

Chapter 5      

·   Special circuits--adders, decoders, multiplexers, PAL's and PLA's

·   Design using multiplexers

Chapter 6      

·   Sequential circuits--flip-flops

Chapter 7      

·   Design of clocked mode sequential circuits--registers, counters, sequence detectors

 

If time permits

·   Error detection and correction

·   Asynchronous circuits

·   Other relevant topics

 

Contribution to Professional Component:

Contributes toward the 1.5 years of engineering topics as a 3 credit hour course in engineering sciences and engineering design.
