Lecturer:

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Telecommunications Engineering

Synopsis:

To provide students with basic knowledge of digital technology It deals with the digital systems, binary codes, expression and simplification of logical functions with regard to the synthesis of combination logic circuits. Attention is also given to sequence circuits, including examples of their synthesis.
