Course content LECTURE 1. Numeral systems: binary, octal, hexadecimal. Binary codes: Gray, '1 of n', two's complement (U2), sign-magnitude, thermometric code, fixed and floating point representations of real numbers. 2. Boolean Algebra vs. propositional calculus, binary Boolean algebra, truth table, canonical forms, normal forms: conjunctive and disjunctive, minterms, maxterms. 3. Minimization of digital systems using Karnaugh maps and their realization with AND, OR, NOT gates. 4. Design and analysis of basic combinatorial circuits: XOR and XNOR gates, voting machine, priority encoder, decoders, 1-bit half adder and 1-bit full adder, multiplexers and demultiplexers. 5. Design and analysis of basic iterative combinatorial circuits: adder, U2 generator, subtractor, comparators, arithmetic-logic unit (ALU), BIN->Gray and Gray-BIN decoders, multiplier, arithmetic-logic unit (ALU), processor flags, memories, non-standard functional blocks. 6.
