Course Description

Title of Course: Digital Electronics Course Code: 10B11EC401

L-T-P scheme: 3-1-0 Credit: 4

Objective:
The objective of this course is to analyze and design combinational circuits and sequential circuits. Also to introduce
the concept of memories, programmable logic devices and digital ICs.

Learning outcomes:
At the end of the course the student will be able to analyze, design, and evaluate digital circuits, of medium
complexity, that are based on SSIs, MSIs, and programmable logic devices.
