This course is one of the main basic courses of electrical engineering major as well as a core course of the computer discipline, also a prerequisite to Microprocessors and Applications, and Embedded Systems.

This course deals with the basic principles of digital systems; binary logic system, combinational circuits, sequential circuits, circuit minimization and design, ADC/DAC, Memory, and FPGA. Also, students learn the tools: Multisim for circuit simulation, Modelsim for circuit simulation with VHDL/Verilog, and Intel Quartus tool. Through the digital experiments, students learn hands-on experience on actual digital systems.As a result students will learn basic principles of digital system, small scale circuit design on experiment board, large scale circuit design on Intel FPGA kit.

This course should enable students to master the basic theoretical knowledge of digital circuits, understand the working principles of basic digital logic circuits, master the basic analysis and design methods of digital logic circuits, and have the ability to use digital logic circuits to initially solve digital logic problems. At the same time, it also lays a solid theoretical foundation for future professional courses and work in the field of digital electronic technology. 

Prerequisites: 《Advanced Mathematics》、《Circuit Analysis》、《Analog Circuits》

《Digital Fundamentals》11th edition by Thomas L. Floyd.
