Summary of
Content: The objective of this lab is to perform
rigorous experiments to consolidate basic knowledge in digital
electronics. The digital electronic design will be introduced and
the module will build on topics studied in EE 201 (Digital Electronics
1). The following topics will be covered:
Study of digital CROs, testing of ICs
Realization of truth tables using multiplexers
use of PALs and PLAs in electronic design
sequential design techniques using state tables and state diagrams
design and use of synchronous and asynchronous counters
the use of serial and parallel interfaces in computer systems
the importance of component layout and decoupling in digital
circuits
introduction to VHDL.
A laboratory-based introduction to digital logic design will form the practical side of the module.
