Digital Logic Design Complete Course

Digital Logic Design

Introduction

Digital logic design is an undergraduate course which is the foundation of modern electronics, focusing on the creation of circuits that process binary signals—zeros and ones—to perform computational tasks. It involves designing systems using fundamental components like logic gates (AND, OR, NOT, XOR, etc.), flip-flops, and multiplexers, which are combined to build complex structures such as processors, memory units, and control systems. The process starts with understanding Boolean algebra, which governs how binary inputs produce outputs through logical operations. Designers use tools like truth tables, Karnaugh maps, and state diagrams to simplify and optimize circuits, ensuring efficiency and reliability. Technologies like CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) are commonly employed to implement these designs in hardware, balancing speed, power consumption, and cost. Digital logic design is critical in fields like computer engineering, embedded systems, and VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration), enabling everything from smartphones to spacecraft. Advanced concepts, such as sequential logic and finite state machines, allow for dynamic systems that respond to inputs over time, making it a cornerstone of innovation in computing and automation.

Course Description  

The undergraduate course provides the students with a fundamental knowledge about digital logic design. The course starts with the number system. The students are taught how to perform arithmetic in different number systems and perform conversion between different bases. Boolean algebra is introduced. Students are explained how to analyze and design combinational and sequential logic circuits. Counters and shift registers are explained. Hardware descriptor language is introduced. Extensive numerical problems are required in the course to fully comprehend the concepts. At the same time, emphasis is required on the basic concepts so that the students are able to apply their knowledge in different unseen scenarios. The lectures are supplemented by a laboratory.
