Course Description

Digital electronics is the foundation of all microprocessor-based systems found in computers, robots, automobiles, and industrial control systems.
This course applies to solving vocational mathematical problems involving number systems used in digital electronics and the implementation of logic circuits with a minimum of logic gates. These are used in the assembly and analysis of simple digital electronic circuits. The design, operation, and troubleshooting of digital circuits are studied.
Laboratory experiments provide hands-on experience with the devices and circuits studied in the classroom.
