Digital logic

Module title:

Digital logic

Module overview:

The goal of the module is to enable students to gain a functional overview of the basic components of modern digital circuits and to learn the basics of digital technique and logic algebra for the purpose of realizing complex logic functions, that is:

Learn the theoretical and practical foundation of digital circuits design.

Learn how computers execute commands and make calculations.

The module is taught in the first semester and addresses the basics of digital logic and provides students with the tools to be used in all other IT related modules of this study programme. It is important for students to take this module to develop their logical and reasoning skills needed to understand how digital systems work. The knowledge and understanding students acquire in this module will contribute to the overall skillset for their future employment. This module will expose students to a particular experience when dealing with theoretical and practical assignments related to the design of digital circuits.

In this module students will:

understand the foundational concepts that underlie digital systems, employing basic and universal logic circuits.

develop proficiency in essential methods for analysing and designing combinational and sequential digital circuits.

acquire logical thinking skills necessary for the practical application of Boolean algebra and the execution of complex logical functions
