Course Learning Outcomes:
- Represent combinational logic building blocks such as multiplexers, encoders, and decoders in algebraic form, in schematic form, and in the syntax of a hardware design language for computer-aided logic synthesis.
- Represent latches and flip-flops for storing information in schematic form and in hardware-design-language syntax and describe the timing behavior of flip-flops.
- Optimize a combinational logic function with Karnaugh maps, both with and without don’t-care valuations.
- Design a finite-state machine from a given state diagram by directly deriving and optimizing the next-state and output logic, and by generating a behavioural description in a hardware design language for computer- aided logic synthesis.
