and software installation. It deals with the different types, elements and uses of hardware and software. The core of the subject lies on the procedures and guidelines on how to assemble a computer system, various software installation and configuration techniques together with preventive maintenance and basic troubleshooting concepts. Objectives At the end of the semester, the students should be able to: 1. Understand the principles and importance of logic circuits. 2. Convert a certain number to a needed number system equivalent. 3. Perform arithmetic operations using binary number system. 4. Understand number codes and its uses. 5. Enumerate and discuss the different logic gates and their operations. 6. Differentiate combinational circuits to sequential circuits. 7. Simplify logic expressions using Boolean algebra and Karnaugh mapping method. 8. Provide truth tables and timing diagrams for JK, D and SR flip-flops. 9. Discuss the principles of register, counter and decoder.10. Design logic circuits for simple applications Topics Overview of the course (Philosophy, Scope, Objectives, Grading System, Requirements, etc.) Importance of Digital Systems Uses of Digital Systems Number Systems Conversion Binary Arithmetic Gray Codes, BCD, ASCII Preliminary Examination Logic Gates, truth table and timing diagram Combinational Logic Gates Boolean Algebra Midterm Examination Karnaugh Mapping Sequential Circuit Multivibrators (Astable, Monostable, Bistable) Flip-flops (D, SR, JK) Semifinal Examination Registers Counters Decoders Final Examination
