EE2255 DIGITAL LOGIC CIRCUITS 

AIM

To introduce the fundamentals of Digital Circuits, combinational and sequential circuit.

OBJECTIVES

i. To study various number systems and to simplify the mathematical expressions
using Boolean functions – simple problems.
ii. To study implementation of combinational circuits
iii. To study the design of various synchronous and asynchronous circuits.
iv. To expose the students to various memory devices.
v. To introduce digital simulation techniques for development of application oriented logic
circuit.

UNIT I BOOLEAN ALGEBRA AND COMBINATIONAL CIRCUITS 9

Boolean algebra: De-Morgan’s theorem, switching functions and simplification using K-maps &
Quine McCluskey method, Design of adder, subtractor, comparators, code converters, encoders,
decoders, multiplexers and demultiplexers.

UNIT II SYNCHRONOUS SEQUENTIAL CIRCUITS 9

Flip flops - SR, D, JK and T. Analysis of synchronous sequential circuits; design of synchronous
sequential circuits – Counters, state diagram; state reduction; state assignment.

UNIT III ASYNCHRONOUS SEQUENCTIAL CIRCUIT 9

Analysis of asynchronous sequential machines, state assignment, asynchronous design problem.

UNIT IV PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC DEVICES, MEMORY AND LOGIC FAMILIES 9

Memories: ROM, PROM, EPROM, PLA, PLD, FPGA, digital logic families: TTL, ECL, CMOS.

UNIT V VHDL 9
