SWITCHING THEORY AND LOGIC DESIGN

(Subject Code: 13EC2003 Name of Faculty: Matta Mani Sankar)

Course Objectives:

1. To deliver the knowledge, motivate and train students in logic design.

2. To study the basic philosophy underlying the various number systems,

binary arithmetic, binary codes and error detecting and correcting

codes.

3. To examine the operation and use of various logic gates with different input

patterns: AND, OR, and NOT, NAND, NOR, EX-OR and EX-NOR.

4. To introduce basic postulates of Boolean algebra and to study representation

of switching functions using Boolean expressions and their minimization

techniques for optimized logic circuit design.

5. To study the combinational logic design of various logic and switching

devices and their realization.

6. To study the sequential logic circuits design both in synchronous and

Asynchronous modes for various complex logic and switching devices.

Course Outcomes:

Upon successful completion of this course, students will:

1. Learn to solve problems involving digital codes, operations, and number

systems.

2. Gain insight into the theory of Boolean algebra and digital logic gates.

3. Become adept at simplifying logic functions for economical design of logic

circuits.

4. Develop the capability to use design equations and procedures to design

combinational and sequential systems consisting of gates and flip-flops.
