Information Security Technology

This course includes; Introduction to digital systems, the difference between analog and digital, basic concepts, Number systems (binary, octal, decimal, hexadecimal) and conversions, Arithmetic operations, 1's and 2's complement, the concept of overflow, Boolean algebra, simplification of logic expressions, Basic logic gates (AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR, XOR, XNOR), Combinational circuits: decoder, encoder, multiplexer, adder, simplification with Karnaugh maps, circuit design, Sequential circuits: Flip-flop types (SR, JK, D, T) and their applications, Counters (up/down), registers, timers, Memory elements: RAM, ROM, PROM, EEPROM, Analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters (ADC/DAC), Digital system examples with microcontrollers, general review, project and application presentations.

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.
