..... 4 Cr
Course Description:
A continuation of PH316 with an emphasis on digital electronics and their
use in the laboratory. Topics include binary arithmetic, boolean logic,
basic logic gates, flip-flops, counters, clocks, registers, and large-scale
integrated circuits, such as microcontrollers and microprocessors. Analog
to digital and digital to analog conversion, basic parallel and serial
digital communication techniques, and other topics related to the use of
these devices in the laboratory will also be covered.
Prerequisite: PH316
