EET 131 - Sequential Logic and Interfacing - Digital II

5 Credit(s)

Prerequisite(s): EET 130

Course Description: Covers theory and emphasizes hands-on laboratory application of sequential digital logic circuits, which build upon the fundamentals of combinational digital logic developed in EET130. Includes flip-flops, counters, registers, and bus logic. Introduces memory devices, analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters (ADCs/DACs), digital interfacing, digital troubleshooting, and introduction to Verilog language for programmable logic devices (FPGAs). Students will gain practical experience using logic analyzers and real-time capture with mixed signal oscilloscopes. A 3-hour per week open-laboratory includes the application of computer tools in circuit design, evaluation, troubleshooting, and analysis. Some labs and projects can be done remotely. Promotes and supports sustainable and green technologies.
