Welcome to the Digital System Design ((RCP23EPC203) course.

This course provides a comprehensive foundation in the analysis and design of digital electronic systems. Students will learn the principles of binary arithmetic, Boolean algebra, logic gates, combinational and sequential circuit design, memory technologies, and programmable logic devices. The course emphasizes logical thinking, circuit minimization techniques, and practical digital system implementation.

What You Will Learn

• Perform binary arithmetic using signed numbers and complements.

• Design and simplify Boolean expressions using Karnaugh Maps and Quine–McCluskey method.

• Analyze and implement combinational circuits such as adders, subtractors, multiplexers, decoders, and code converters.

• Design sequential circuits using flip-flops, shift registers, counters, and finite state machines.

• Understand semiconductor memories and programmable logic devices used in modern digital systems.

Course Units

• Unit I: Binary Arithmetic, Logic Gates, and Logic Families

• Unit II: Standard Representation and Minimization of Logic Functions
