Course Description: Basics of Digital Computer Hardware and Design. Topics include switching
algebra and switching functions, logic design of combinational and sequential circuits, storage
elements, register-level design, and instrumentation. 3 hours lecture, 1 credit hour lab.
Prerequisites: College-level familiarity with programming languges (CS 1180 Computer Science I
or CS 1160 Intro to Computer Prog or CEG 2170 Intro to C Prog) AND College-level mathematical
readiness (MTH 1280 College Algebra OR MTH 1340 Precalculus OR WSU Math Level MPL 05).
Objectives: This course has two primary objectives. The first is content-based. We hope to teach
students the fundamental principles of design for sequential digital devices. The second objective is
skill-based. Students will exercise their ability to apply these principles in practical application though
laboratory projects. At the.end of this course, each passing student should be able to:
• CE-DIGl Switching theory

• 1. Work with binary number systems and arithmetic.
• 2. Derive and manipulate switching functions that form the basis of digital circuits.
• 3. Reduce switching ftmctions to simplify circuits used to realize them.
• CE-DIG2 Combinational logic circuits

• 1. Realize switching functions with networks oflogic gates.
• 2. Explain and apply fundamental characteristics of relevant electronic technologies, such as
propagation delay, fan-in, fan-out, and power dissipation and noise margin.
CE-DIG3 Modular design of combinational circuits

• 1. Analyze and explain uses of small- and medium-scale logic functions as building blocks.
2. Analyze and design combinational logic networks in a hierarchical, modular approach, using
standard and custom logic functions.
• CE-DIG4 Memory elements

• I. Design and describe the operation of basic memory elements.
• 2. Analyze circuits containing basic memory elements.

• 3. Apply the concepts of basic timing issues, including clocking, timing constraints, and
propagation delays during the design process.
CE-DIGS Sequential logic circuits

• I. Analyze the behavior of synchronous machines.
• 2. Synthesize synchronous sequential machines.
• CE-DIG6 Digital systems design

• I. Apply digital system design principles and descriptive techniques.
• 2. Analyze and design functional building blocks and control and timing concepts of digital
systems.
• 3. Develop a complex digital system design in a hierarchical fashion using top-down and
bottom-up design approaches.
4. Utilize programmable devices such as FPGAs and PLDs to implement digital system
designs.
CE-DIG7 Modeling and simulation

• 1. Model and simulate a digital system using schematic diagrams.
• 2. Understand timing issues in digital systems and know how to study these via digital circuit
simulation.
Intensive writing: This course requires the maintaince of a laboratory/engineering notebook. In this
courses, students are expected to produce writing that:
• Demonstrates their understanding of course content,
Is appropriate for the audience and purpose of a particular writing task,
• Demonstrates the degree of mastery of disciplinary writing conventions appropriate to the

course (including documentation conventions), and
Shows competency in standard edited American English.
Textbook: Every student should have access to some reference textbook or material to supplement
the lecture instruction. As taught, this course does not require any specific textbook. Students are
free to use any contempormy textbook or on-line resource to supplement the material discussed in
lecture and laboratory. Several copies of contemporary textbooks are available in the laboratory for
student use. Chapter/sections for lecture material will be provided only for the most current edition of
the recommended textbook.
Recommened: Vahid, Frank. "Digital Design", any edition, John Wiley and Sons.
Reference: Mano, Morris and Kime, Charles. "Logic and Computer Design Fundamentals", any
edition, New Jersey: Prentice-Hall.
Grading: A student's demonstration of their ability to discuss issues, solve problems, and demonstrate
mastery of digital design will be the underlying metric for the determination of a student's overall
grade in this course. Students will be provided the opportunity to demonstrate their mastery through
examinations and laboratory projects. Grades will be assigned on a standard A/90%, B/80%, C/70%,
D/60%, F/60%- scale. Clustering of grades may cause the thresholds to be lowered; they will not be
raised. The instructor reserves the right to fail any student who does not a student attain both a passing
grade (70%+) in the laboratory and at least a grade of 50% on the final.The overall course grade will
be the weighted sum of the three grades:
