Methodology
 No Plagiarism?
 Plagiarism is defined in dictionaries as the "wrongful
appropriation," "close imitation," or “publication" of
another author’s "language, thoughts, ideas, or
expressions," and the representation of them as one's own
original work (source: www.wikipedia.org)
 Can you consult/collaborate with each other?
 Consulting each other in the assignments ?
 Verbally

 Consulting each other in the quizzes ?

 Not at all
 Course Objective
 The course provides the first solid step towards understanding
the working of digital computers
 The major aim of the course is to give the students proper
understanding of the logic design used in digital computers
 It gives the knowledge of the (boolean) algebra needed for
design and analysis of digital circuits
 What should you expect in this course?
 A lot of mathematical thinking and hardware
implementations
 What should you learn by the end of this course?
 Ability to understand, analyze and design various
combinational and sequential circuits
Why should we study this
course?
 So, why do we still insist on learning the DLD, which is
basically learning the computer at the bit level?
 Someone has to actually make that "technology that can
simplify everything for us", they have to know how it works.
 Knowing how a system internally works helps the
understanding on a higher level.
 In an analogy, we could say: "Knowledge of Assembly
programming helps you making C programs more
efficient, although you don't really have to know how
Assembly works in order to program in C.”
Course Learning Outcomes
• To understand and acquire the in-depth knowledge of
various number system and their arithmetic operations
like Compliments, Binary codes, Bin Addition,
subtraction, Multiplication, Division, Bin Logic.
• To understand Binary algebra and Boolean functions in
terms of Karanugh Map representation and simplification
of Boolean Functions.
• Analyze and design Combinational Logic Ciruits with MSI
& LSI. Also Analyze and design Sequential Logic Circuits
and Understand the operation of latch circuit and flip-
flop circuits
