characteristic equations, master-slave operation/edge triggering; brief discussion of race conditions.
Sequential logic applications: Design of counters; operation of parallel/serial input/output shift register;
design of simple multiplexer, feedback shift register circuits.
Switching/logic circuits: Switching properties of BJT, FET; basic circuit operation of BJT and MOS gates;
comparison of common logic families and identification of their interfacing requirements. Introduction to
Microcomputers, I/Os, Buses, Microprocessors, Memories and Storage Devices.
