This course provides an introduction to the foundations of digital electronics.
Students will explore the fundamental principles that underlie modern digital systems,
focusing on how electronic devices can represent and process information.
The course emphasizes logical thinking, systematic design, and problem-solving skills
that form the basis of computer hardware and digital technology.
Our aim is not only to cover technical concepts but also to encourage curiosity,
collaboration, and critical reasoning in approaching real-world challenges.
Digital electronics lies at the heart of modern computing and communication systems. From processors and memory to embedded systems and everyday digital devices, understanding digital circuits provides a strong foundation for computer engineering. By learning digital design, students develop both analytical and practical skills that are essential for advanced studies and future careers in electronics and computing.
Students are expected to have the following background:
Permissive but strict. If unsure, please ask the course staff!
We welcome auditing students from the department. Auditors may attend lectures and follow the materials, but graded assignments and projects are reserved for enrolled students. Please contact the instructor if you wish to attend as an auditor.
The primary reference book for this course is:
Electronics of Digital Chips
