OBJECTIVES AND CONTENTS
Objectives of the Course Unit:	This course is designed to give seniors in electrical engineering an ability to comprehend and analyze the design and operation of digital integrated circuits with the CMOS as the dominant IC technology. The working knowledge of different technologies is presented addressing the transistor-level design issues.
Contents of the Course Unit:	Basic waveshapes and fundamentals of digital electronics. Principles of Metaloxide Semiconductor (MOS) transistor, operation of MOS inverters and gate curcuits (NMOS, CMOS). Principles of bipolar junction transistors (BJT), operation of BJT inverters and gate circuits (TTL, ECL), semiconductor memories.

KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE COURSE UNIT (On successful completion of this course unit, students/learners will or will be able to)
Apply math, science and engineering knowledge. This course is about general digital electronic circuit principles and applications using different logic families. Different tools from mathematics (differential equations, complex variables) in frequency domain analysis as well as from sciences (physics) in device modeling and engineering (electronics) in circuit analysis and design are heavily drawn upon during lectures, homework sets, exams and PSpice assignments.
Design a system, component or process to meet desired needs. Designing digital circuits using different logic families constitute an important component of course material. The design approach is further reinforced in Pspice assignments which involve designing digital circuits using different families.
Ability to communicate effectively. Students are required to write a laboratory report on their PSpice assignments and part of the grade is based on the writing style, technical content and presentation quality.
Use of modern engineering tools. Students use PSpice for their homework and project assignments.
