COURSE OBJECTIVES
COURSE OF DIGITAL ELECTRONICS IS THE STUDY OF ELECTRONIC CIRCUITS THAT ARE USED
TO PROCESS AND CONTROL DIGITAL SIGNALS. IN CONTRAST TO ANALOG ELECTRONICS,
WHERE INFORMATION IS REPRESENTED BY A CONTINUOUSLY VARYING VOLTAGE, DIGITAL
SIGNALS ARE REPRESENTED BY TWO DISCREET VOLTAGES OR LOGIC LEVELS. THIS
DISTINCTION ALLOWS FOR GREATER SIGNAL SPEED AND STORAGE CAPABILITIES AND HAS
REVOLUTIONIZED THE WORLD ELECTRONICS. DIGITAL ELECTRONICS IS AN IMPORTANT
PART OF THE OVERALL ELECTRONICS FIELD. IT IS UNDOUBTEDLY THE FASTEST-GROWING
FIELD OF ELECTRONICS TODAY. DIGITAL ELECTRONICS NOW PLAYS A DETERMINANT ROLE
IN THE INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY. THE USE OF SMART CIRCUITS
IS PRESENT IN VIRTUALLY ALL ASPECTS OF OUR LIVES AND ITS USE IS INCREASING RAPIDLY,
MAKING DIGITAL ELECTRONICS AN IMPORTANT COURSE OF STUDY FOR A STUDENT
EXPLORING A CAREER IN ENGINEERING/ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY. THE COURSE
DISCUSSES NUMBERING SYSTEMS (BINARY AND HEXADECIMAL), BOOLEAN ALGEBRA,
DIGITAL ELECTRONIC GATE CIRCUITS, THE USE ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS IN THE
CONSTRUCTION OF A DIGITAL SYSTEM AND THE CHARACTERISTICS OF DIGITAL ELECTRONIC
SYSTEMS
PREREQUISITES
STUDENTS STUDYING THE “DIGITAL ELECTRONICS” COURSE
MUST HAVE BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF PHYSICS (ELECTRICITY)
WHICH IS THE OPERATIONAL BASIS OF MOST DIGITAL
DEVICES.
Upon completion of the course students will be able to :
KNOWLEDGE:
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Demonstrate how gate functions are achieved;
Use Boolean algebra to define different logic operations;
Explain how counting, decoding, multiplexing and clocks are
accomplishes with logic devices;
Explain how arithmetic operations are achieved with digital
circuitry
SKILLS:
Design different digital electronic systems;
Measure the characteristics of digital electronic systems;
Use electronic components in the construction of a digital
systems of varying complexity
FINAL COURSE OUTPUT - SOCIAL COMPETENCES
Can analyze, adjust to external conditions, or reengineer
existing organizational units and processes (not only technical)
Can establish and lead organizational units (personnel,
processes, infrastructure, technology) responsibly;
Can work and communicate effectively in national and
international contexts.
Feel obligated to act in accordance with professional ethics
and the responsibilities and standards of engineering practice.
