ECE 260 - Digital Logic and Computer Design

3.5 credits
3 hours lecture, 1.5 hours laboratory
Prerequisites: Engineering student or permission of instructor
Fundamental theory and design methods for digital systems. Topics include logic components, Boolean algebra, combinational circuit analysis and design, synchronous and asynchronous sequential circuit analysis and design, state diagrams, state minimization and assignment, basic computer organization and design. This course also teaches the use of software tools for design, minimization, simulation, and schematic capture of digital systems. The digital systems that are designed will be implemented using MSI, LSI, and field programmable gate arrays. A hands-on laboratory is included in which students work in teams.
