| DESCRIPTION | 1) Latches and Flip Flops: RS, JK, D and T latches. Functional diagrams and truth tables and timing diagrams. Gated latches. Edge triggered flip flops: RS, JK, D, T. Master-slave flip flops. 2) Sequential Circuit Design: Fundamental concepts of sequential circuits. State tables and state diagrams. Moore and Mealy state machines. Design and analysis using latches and flip flops. Propagation delay considerations on sequential circuit design and operation. Glitches and their impact on correct circuit operation. Handling glitches. Synchronous and asynchronous circuit operation considerations. 3) Multivibrators: The monostable, astable and bistable multivibrators. Discrete transistor circuits and the 555 IC. Digital oscillators (clock circuits) using logic gates, including crystal oscillators. 4) Digital function building blocks: Counters: Asynchronous and synchronous operation. Up/Down and cascaded counters. Counter applications and timers. Shift Registers: Serial and parallel shift registers. Bi-directional shift registers. Shift register counters and applications. Study-unit Aims: This unit continues to build the student's knowledge in digital electronics, addressing sequential functional design and circuit implementation; timer and counter circuits. Learning Outcomes: 1. Knowledge & Understanding: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - understand latch and flip flop logic and use, - Design and analyse sequential circuits, - Implement and use counter, timer, shift register, multivibrator and clock circuits, - Trouble-shoot designs. 2. Skills: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to design, build and trouble-shoot sequential logic digital electronic circuits.
