 Course Objective
This course introduces the student to the
design of digital logic circuits, both
combinational and sequential, and the
design of digital systems in a hierarchical,
top-down manner. The student is also
introduced to the use of computer-aided
design tools used to develop digital
circuits.

 Hardware Processes Machine Code
User program is translated into binary
machine code by compiler and assembler and
is stored in memory.
Control unit reads program from memory, one
word at a time (fetch operation).
Control unit deciphers the instruction bits of
program word and configures datapath logic,
which processes data and saves results in
memory (decode and execute operations).

 Exercises
Identify radio frequency (RF), mixed (analog and
digital) signal, and digital components in a
communications system.
Which parts in computing and communications
systems contain digital arithmetic logic circuits?
Where is the binary machine code stored in a
digital computer?
What is the difference between sequential and
combinational circuits? Which category does the
control of a computer belong to?

Fall 2015, Aug 17 ELEC2200-002 Lecture 1 16

 Answers
Components of a communications system:
RF: Antenna, duplexer, filter, mixer, local oscillator.
Mixed-signal: ADC, DAC.
Digital: DSP.
Arithmetic logic is contained in DSP and datapath.
Machine code is stored in a memory.
Sequential and combinational circuits:
A sequential circuit contains memory. Its output is
determined by the input and the content of the memory.
A combinational circuit contains no memory. Its output
depends entirely upon the input.
Control of a computer is a sequential circuit.
