| DESCRIPTION |
This study-unit introduces basic combinational logic and associated building blocks making up a simple processor.
Syllabus:
• Computer Logic: This unit introduces Boolean logic and functions for use in combinational logic circuits. Trade offs in implementation using NOR-logic or NAND-logic are discussed. Design and implementation using various minimisation techniques including Karnaugh Maps and tabular methods.
• Computer Arithmetic: Computer arithmetic for addition and subtraction including number representation, fixed and floating point standards, valid range and error checking.
• Computer arithmetic structures: serial and parallel full-adder. The Arithmetic Logic Unit design using a parallel full adder.
• Decoders, multiplexers.
• Practical aspects of logic gates – IC types – TTL, ECL and CMOS, fan-in, fan out, fan-out, tristate etc.
• Instruction Set Architecture.
• Combinational logic design using VHDL.
Textbook:
• Logic and Computer Design Fundamentals by M. Morris Mano and Charles.R. Kine, 4th ed. Pearson. |
