EET 231 - Digital-Electronic Circuits

4 credit hours - Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory weekly; one term.
A study of the principles and practices of digital electronic theory, components and circuits. Digital concepts involving number systems, Boolean algebra and logic gates are studied in conjunction with flip-flops, counters, encoders, multiplexers and digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital converters (ADC). State-of-the-art programmable logic devices are integrated throughout the course. The course culminates with the construction and functioning of computer busses with random access memory (RAM). Lab fee $25.

Prerequisite(s): EET 130 or permission of department chair.

Note: Typically offered MC; fall term.

Course Outcomes:

Compare analog and digital systems
Use the number systems common to digital systems
Mathematically model real-world situations
Construct combinational and sequential circuits
Describe hardware descriptive languages
Convert between analog and digital data
Perform duties of a technician
Prepare technical documentation
