Description Introduction to digital logic and computer systems. Representation of information, combinational network analysis and design, sequential network analysis and design, computer organization and control. Laboratory for design and simulation of digital systems.
Notes Credit is not given for both ECE 290 and CS 231.
Credit 3 hours
Goals An understanding of the working of digital systems, including computer organization at the functional and logical levels.
Topics
  • Representation of information.
  • Switching algebra.
  • Combinational network analysis and design.
  • Sequential network analysis and design.
  • Binary arithmetic and arithmetic-logic unit.
  • Computer organization and machine-level programming.
  • Input-output.
  • Control and design.
Computer Usage There are assignments each week on UNIX graphic workstations running a commercial CAD System. Half of the assignments utilize schematic capture and simulation software to teach combinational and sequential logic design concepts.
Course Prerequisites One of CS 101, CS 125, ECE 110, ECE 190.
