  • ELC 114: Digital Techniques

    4.00 Credits
    Westmoreland County Community College

    Concerned with electronic systems based on Boolean algebra using electronic devices in a switching mode. Logic gates are identified and their characteristics described in terms of Boolean algebra. Boolean theorems and manipulative techniques are used to design combinational logic circuits. Significant logic families and their characteristics are described. Number systems and their conversions are investigated with emphasis on those systems most used in the computer field. Logic devices are combined into the three classes of multi-vibrators. Sequential logic combinations of multi-vibrators, their uses and waveforms are studied. Binary arithmetic and the relevant circuits are investigated. Interfacing of the analog and digital worlds is considered. Prerequisite:    ELC 106
