The aims of this course are to present the principles of combinational and sequential digital logic, to provide techniques for designing digital logic and to introduce basic physical electronics and MOS gate realisation. Lectures Introduction, and combinational logic. The parts of a simple computer. Logic versus technology. Idealised logic gates.
Boolean algebra describes ideal combinational circuits.
Simplification of combinational functions. Logic levels in real implementations. Sequential logic design. Finite state automata. Asynchronous and synchronous machines.
