Introduction to Digital Logic Circuits
James Vogel, P.E.
Overview
Digital logic circuits are
very versatile circuits. They are used extensively in computers,
telecommunications and manufacturing. Digital logic circuits are also used in
many devices and products: hand-held devices, appliances, medical devices, alarm
systems, energy management systems, automobiles, and aircraft. The object of
the course is to provide an introduction to digital logic operations, components
and circuits. The course provides an introduction to digital logic circuits
that are common to programmable logic controllers and electronic logic gate
representations.
This course is designed
for engineers with limited experience in electrical devices and moderate math
skills. The course provides a short history of digital logic, fundamental
digital logic circuit design concepts, digital logic operations, component
representations, and design approaches.
The student must take a
multiple choice quiz consisting of twenty (20) questions at the end of the
course to obtain PDH credits. It is my intention that the material presented in
this course helps the student to be better versed in digital logic concepts and
be more comfortable working with digital devices used in engineering.
