Objectives of the Course
The primary objective of this course is to provide students with the fundamental concepts, building blocks, and operating principles of digital systems, and to develop skills in the analysis and design of number systems, arithmetic operations, Boolean algebra, logic gates, and combinational and sequential circuits. Furthermore, the aim is to provide students with the ability to apply their digital electronics knowledge to real-world system designs through practical applications of memory elements, converters (ADC/DAC), and microcontroller-based digital system examples.
