Course Description:
This
course is intended to be an introduction to the digital electronics.
The topics includes: Introduction to diodes, bipolar, and field-effect
transistors, as well as analysis, and design of digital circuits,
gates, flip-flops and memory circuits. The main objective of this
course is
to provide the students with the basics of digital electronics starting
from analyzing the operation of a field effect transistor to the
simulation, layout and fabrication of digital logic circuits for
combinational and sequential logic applications.
