EGR 244 - Digital Logic Design

4 credit hours - Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory weekly; one term.
Learn the mathematical basis for number systems used in Boolean algebra. Understand the properties and function of logic gates. Design combinatorial circuits using adders, subtractors, multiplexers, encoders, and decoders. Understand the properties of flip-flops. Design sequential circuits involving registers, counters, and memory. Use hardware description language (HDL) to program FPGAs. Lab fee $25.

Prerequisite(s): MAT 191 and either EGR 120 or CTP 150 ; or permission of engineering department chair.

Note: Typically offered MC; fall and spring terms.
