CPE 271 - Digital Design

Institution:

Western New England University

Subject:

Description:

This is an introductory course that gives students the ability to analyze and design digital circuits. Students become knowledgeable about the number systems used in computers and digital circuits. They learn to simplify Boolean algebraic expressions that describe circuit behavior. Students learn to design combinational and sequential circuits using basic gates and flipflops, as well as larger functional. units such as decoders, counters, and multiplexers. Students are introduced to the hardware description language VHDL, and learn to describe simple circuits with that language. Laboratory work includes designing, building, and testing combinational and sequential circuits using available parts. Students will also use VHDL to program programmable logic devices. The methods for assessing student learning in the course are quizzes, tests, and lab reports. Three class hours, two lab hours. 4 cr.
