KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE COURSE UNIT (On successful completion of this course unit, students/learners will or will be able to)

Recognizing number systems, converting number systems to each other, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division operations with binary numbers, recognizing code systems used in digital electronic circuits and converting codes to each other, integrated logic structures, logic gates: not (NOT), or (OR), and not (NAND), not (NOR), exclusive or (XOR), exclusive or not (XNOR), truth tables of buffer logic gates, electrical circuit equivalents-analysis, establishing digital electronic circuits, boolean mathematics, simplifying and drawing logical expressions using boolean rules, placing logical expressions on karnaugh maps, grouping operation, obtaining the simplified function, simplifying with indifferents. Examining Karnaugh maps with two, three, four and five variables, transferring a given problem related to any field to logic language, creating the truth table and then transitioning to Karnaugh maps, finding and drawing the simplest form of the system with these Karnaugh maps, Code converters, encoders, decoders, multiplexers, demultiplexer circuits, establishing adder and subtractor circuits, half adder, full adder, four-bit parallel full adder, half subtractor, full subtractor, four-bit parallel subtractor, recorder integrated multiplier circuits. Multiplier circuits and their implementation, establishing comparator circuits, half comparator, full comparator, four-bit parallel (cascade) comparator, arithmetic logic unit structure, examination and implementation.
