CENG 214

Logic Design

The course content provides the student with the basic knowledge, concepts and experiences required to understand and design computer architecture. The content includes theoretical and experimental studies such as boolean algebra, logic gates, multi-level logic gates, combinational arithmetic and logic systems, sequential logic, registers and counters, memory units and problem solving with programmable logic. The student’s ability to design logic and arithmetic circuits theoretically, test them and apply them in a laboratory environment is developed.

Course Objectives

Introduction to computer architecture. Number systems. Boolean algebra. Logic gates and flip-flops. Combinational and sequential circuit design. Strings, counters. Bus transfer. RAM, ROM units. Instruction execution and loop control.

Learning Outcomes:

To be able to understand computer architecture and processes.
To be able to understand how arithmetic and logic processing unit works and the ability to design.
To be able to understand memory unit and the ability to understand how it works.
To be able to design circuitry for defined problems.
