Course Learning Outcomes

CLO 1: Transform the decimal numbers to/from binary, octal hexadecimal etc and carry out the simple and signed arithmetic operations in these base systems. CLO 2: Apply K-map and theorem of Boolean algebra to simplify logic equation and use gates and encoders, decoders, multiplexers and de-multiplexers to build circuits. CLO3: Derive equations from truth / state table in order to design synchronous sequential logic which includes latches, flip-flops and state reduction.
