Digital Elements and Systems to be Modelled (CENG 465/ELEC 543)

Digital Elements and Systems to be Modeled

Caveat: Course Prerequisite

This course requires extensive knowledge and background in digital logic design (CENG 290 Digital Design: I is a prerequisite). You may need to review CENG 290 course material to refresh your information.

If you need a digital design reference book, the one by R. Katz is recommended.

This page includes a list of digital elements and systems that you need to review. We will use these elements and systems as modeling examples throughout the course.

Please note that you might be asked to model other digital elements or systems that are not listed here without any prior notice. The list below should only be used as a guideline for the minimum required background.

Example List

Elementary logic gates (buffer, not, and, or, nand, nor, xor, xnor)

Tristate elements

Multiplexers (MUXs)

Demultiplexers (DEMUXs)

Decoders

Encoders

Latches and flip-flops (RS, D, T, JK)

Multi-bit latches and registers (including shift registers)

Memory elements: ROMs and RAMs (single and dual ports)

Finite state machines (FSMs) (Moore and Mealy)

Counters

Parallel to serial and serial to parallel converters

Arithmetic and logic circuits (comparators, half and full adders, ALUs, etc.)

Different numbering and coding systems and circuits that convert from one to another

Combinational circuits: parity generation and checking, priority encoders, etc.
