Key Words

Logic circuits,  Clocked Sequential Netwoks, Flip-Flops, Digital design. 

Objectives

  To teach how students should be able to apply switching theory to the solution of logic design problems. Then by combining flip-flops with networks of logical gates, students will learn to design counters, clocked sequential networks-detectors, and similar networks using flip-flops, logical gates, ROM, PLD, MSI integrated circuits etc.
