Fundamental digital behavior of semiconductor devices and amplifiers for the Electrical Engineering student. Realization of digital devices with standard integrated circuit logic families. Laboratory experiences and design projects. Laboratory 3 hours.

Prerequisites:

ENEE 371, 372 with grades of C or better.

Corequisite:

ENEE 274

Textbook/References:

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

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

To provide hands-on experiences to aid students in understanding the course material in ENEE 374, to analyze and design circuits using digital devices in a laboratory environment, and to enhance report writing. (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5)

Objective: 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 and 4)

· design and conduct experiments necessary to determine circuit behavior and parameters (3)

Class/Laboratory Schedule:

For the first two weeks the course meets M, 2:00-5:00 p.m. After this, the lab consists of design projects on which the students work individually, and the laboratory functions as an open lab, with students working on their own schedule, and seeking help as needed.

Topics Covered:

These may change over the course of the semester to better fit with ENEE 374 course schedule.

Lab 1: TTL characteristics; chip identification

Lab 2: Fanout and noise margin

Lab 3: Design 1: Pass/Complement gate (2 weeks)

Lab 4: Design 2: Adder/subtracter

Lab 5: Design 3: Seven-segment display driver (2 weeks)

Lab 6: Design 4: Multiplier

Lab 7: Design 5: Design using multiplexers (2 weeks)

Lab 8: Design 6: Flip-flop counter

Lab 9: Design 7: Flip-flop sequence detector

Contribution to Professional Component:

Contributes toward the 1.5 years of engineering topics as a 1 credit hour course in engineering sciences and engineering design.

Relationship of course to program outcomes

This course supports engineering outcomes 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
