Course overview
In Digital Fundamentals, students begin by exploring the basics of digital logic and progress to designing and implementing useful digital electronic circuits using a hardware description language and programmable logic device. By the end of the course, students will have mastered the skills to design, simulate, test, and evaluate combinational and sequential logic circuits of moderate complexity. They will also be familiar with design considerations such as power dissipation, delay, and managing complexity through modularity and abstraction.
