Digital logic circuits are the basic building blocks of modern computers. To understand the working of
computers,one needs to know how numbers are represented and processed using digital logic circuits. This
course first teaches number representation in computers and Boolean algebra. After covering
minimization of expressions and basic logic gates, the design of combinational and sequential circuits
that perform a specific function are discussed. The aim of the course is to provide the student with an
understanding of how data is represented and processed at the hardware level. This course acts as a
foundation for a course on Computer Architecture and Organization.
Course Objectives
1. Facilitate the student to represent numbers in different number systems and convert
numbers from onenumber system to another.
2. Introduce logic gates and theorems and properties of Boolean algebra.
3. Familiarize the student with techniques for minimization expression and establish its necessity.
4. Demonstrate the design of combinational and sequential logic circuits.
