PHYS 306 - Computer Logic and Circuit Design
This course serves as an introduction to the electrical engineering and computer science topic of digital circuits, and digital logic. The course presents theoretical concepts like binary representation of information, Boolean algebra, truth tables, combinatorial logic, and Karnaugh maps. These concepts prove useful in a wide range of engineering, business, and scientific situations. The course also provides hands-on experience with the physical implementation of digital logic in the form of logic gates. Once logic gates are understood, the course then demonstrates how more complex elements are built from simple gates: flip-flops, latches, memory elements, and memory registers all follow. Finally, elements useful for computing are covered, including binary adders (ALUs) and analog-to-digital converters (ADCs).
