This is an introductory course in digital logic circuit theory and practice used in contemporary computer, control, instrumentation and security systems. The course begins with the development of simple digital elements, which are combined in increasingly complex functions to perform higher-level logic functions. The laboratory exercises give the student the opportunity to verify the ideas presented in lecture, and explore the capabilities and limitations of commonly used logic circuits.
