Course Objectives The goal of this course to introduce different technologies and structures used in the implementation of digital logic gates. Regenerative circuits for digital waveform generation will be expained. Memory structures, Analogtodigital (A/D) and digitaltoanalog (D/A) structures and technologies will be studied. These concept will be emphasized through laboratory experiments.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Analyse logic gates implemented using MOS transistor technologies (such as NMOS, CMOS),
  • Apply complex logic gates implemented by different MOS structures (NMOS, CMOS, Clocked CMOS, Pass Transistor),
  • Define the operation of static and dynamic RAM and ROM memory structures,
  • Explain the operation principles of the Analog-to-Digital and Digital-to-Analog Converter Circuits,
  • Analyse logic gates implemented by different bipolar transistor technologies (such as DTL, TTL, ECL),
  • Employ regenerative circuits, including Schmitt-Triggers, astable, monostable and bistable multivibrators,
  • Recognize problems when digital circuits of different technologies are connected to each other,
  • Construct digital circuits experimentally in the laboratory.
