Course Description

  • Digital (or Boolean) Logic is a system of rules that allow us to make complicated decisions based on simple YES/NO (1/0) questions. This is a laboratory course in which students will understand digital logic by creating various systems. In this class, students will use an FPGA board to create an encoder, decoder, adder, and more.

Course Objectives

In this class, students will be introduced to:

  1. Boolean algebra for dealing with logic functions
  2. AND, OR, NOT, NAND and NOR gates
  3. Encoder and decoder
  4. Basic adder
  5. Multiplexers, flip-flops, and registers
  6. Hardware description languages (Verilog)
  7. And more if time permits

*Evaluation of group projects may include peer evaluations.

Explain of evaluation system

  1. About 40% of students: A
  2. About 40% of students: B
  3. About 20% of students: C and below

Further details regarding the letter grade and attendance:
  1. If your total score does not exceed 40%, you will get an "F" regardless of the percentage above.
  2. If you are absent more than three times, you will get an "F."
  3. If you are late twice, you are considered absent once.
  4. The course is specifically designed for sophomore students; hence, absences related to job positions or interviews cannot be accepted as excuses.
  5. Complete your assignments and exams independently. Any instances of plagiarism, whether from fellow students or online sources, will result in an automatic 'F' in this course, regardless of your current standing.
