Digital electronics for beginners

About this course

Digital circuits, both combinatorial and sequential, as well as Boolean algebraic number systems, are introduced in this course. It provides a perspective of the logic function design, going from the issue through the truth table. The combination of inputs is then what determines how to obtain a function. It allows students to create a circuit using gates that have been reorganized into packages. Students can construct various digital circuits, including encoders, transcoders, multiplexers, counters, registers, and memories, by using the knowledge from this course. By transforming the problems into lookup tables and setting the input parameters and output parameters, it is possible to synthesize numerous decision-making processes. This course represents a sound basis for students in the case of vast integrated circuits because it provides the necessary tools to perform any numerical circuit.The essential points covered in this course are given as follows :Binary ArithmeticBinary, decimal, and hexadecimal systemsChange between basesThe types of codesBinary arithmetic (addition, subtraction)The basic rules of digital logic gatesThe Logic functionsThe truth and Karnaugh tables simplify logic functions.Principle of Encoders and decodersTranscoders (binary-Aiken, binary-Gray)The Seven-segment displaysMultiplexer and demultiplexer systemStudying the different types of flip-flopsSynchronous and asynchronous countersShift registers.Memories
