Fundamentals of Digital Engineering: Digital Logic

Abstract

The basics of Boolean algebra will be introduced, starting from simple combinational logic functions and basic sequential logic circuits such as latches and flip-flops.  Based on these fundamentals, more complex logic structures such as decoders, adders, registers, and memories will constructed and their performance analyzed.  FET Transistor basics will be reviewed and circuits introduced that demonstrate implementations of the basic logic elements in CMOS technology.  The logic functions used as the architectural basis for programmable devices used in spaceborne electronics will be examined and analyzed.
