Digital Electronic Circuits Digital Electronic Circuits

ABOUT THE COURSE:

There is a flux of terms in recent times that

starts with the word ‘digital’. Examples are
digital camera, digital watch, digital
weighing machine, digital signature, digital
payment, digital art and so on. The digital
prefix associates a term with digital
technology and is considered a step up in
the delivered performance at a given cost.
The world of digital provides easy storage
and reproduction, immunity to noise and
interference, flexibility in processing,
different transmission options, and very Join
importantly, inexpensive building blocks in
the form of integrated circuits. Digital
systems represent and manipulate digital
signals. Such signals represent only finite
number of discreet values. A signal can be
discreet by nature whereas, a continuous
signal can be discretized for digital
processing and then converted back.
Manipulation and storage of digital signal
involves switching. This switching is done
through electronic circuits. Basic gates
made from electronic circuits are primary
building blocks of digital systems. These
gates combine in different ways to develop
digital circuits that are associated with
different functionalities. This is helped by an
understanding of Boolean Algebra. The
functional blocks in turn, combine to
generate a complex digital system. There
are general purpose programmable blocks,
too. This course is aimed at developing a
deep understanding of digital electronic
circuits. At the end of the course, one would
be able to analyze and synthesize different
kind of combinatorial and sequential digital
systems for real-world use.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:

Goutam Saha, BTech, PhD from IIT Kharagpur had a short

Management Training at XLRI, Jamshedpur. During 1990-1994,
he worked with Tata Steel. He joined as faculty member in the
Dept. of Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering at
IIT Kharagpur in 2002. In 2006 fall semester, he served University
of Southern California, USA. His research interest includes
biomedical and speech signal processing with collaborations from
India and abroad. His work was declared a winner in DST-
Lockheed Martin India Innovation Growth Program, selected for
Rashtrapati Bhavan exhibition, became editorial article of peer
reviewed research journal, features in India Innovates Youtube
channel and was also covered in leading media. He has published
papers in leading international journals and conference
proceedings, filed several patents and co-authored two popular
textbooks published by McGraw-Hill Education. He has a decade
long experience of teaching the ‘Digital Electronic Circuits’ course
to IIT Kharagpur undergraduates.
