Module-wise Syllabus
Module 1
9 contact hoursNumber systems and codes — binary, octal and hexadecimal, conversions, ASCII code, Excess-3 code, Gray code, BCD code. Signed numbers — 1's complement and 2's complement, addition and subtraction. Basic logic gates — universal gates, TTL, CMOS, internal diagram of TTL NAND gate and CMOS NOR gate, comparison of CMOS and TTL performance.
Module 2
9 contact hoursBoolean laws and theorems — sum of products and product of sums forms, K-map representation and simplification (up to four variables), pairs, quads, octets, don't-care conditions. Combinational circuits — half adder and full adder, half subtractor and full subtractor, 4-bit parallel binary adder/subtractor. Comparators, parity generators and checkers, encoders, decoders, BCD to seven segment decoder. Multiplexers — implementation of boolean expressions using multiplexers, demultiplexers.
Module 3
10 contact hoursFlip-flops — SR, JK, D and T flip-flops, characteristic table and excitation table, JK master-slave flip-flop, conversion of flip-flops (SR to JK and JK to SR only). Up/down counters — asynchronous counters, mod-6 and mod-10 counters. Synchronous counters — design of synchronous counters, ring counter, Johnson counter. Shift registers — SISO, SIPO, PISO, PIPO. State machines — state transition diagram, Moore and Mealy machines.
Module 4
8 contact hoursDigital to analog converter — weighted resistor type, R-2R ladder type. Analog to digital converter — flash type, successive approximation type. Introduction to Verilog — implementation of AND, OR, half adder and full adder.
