NST 111 - Digital Systems Fundamentals

This course introduces combinational and sequential logic circuits, decoders, multiplexers, ripple counters and synchronous counters. Analog-to-digital converters are also studied. Computer software is used to design, verify and implement digital systems at the gate level. Very High Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language (VHDL) is used extensively throughout the course. A project is required that gives students the opportunity to obtain hands-on experience in the design of digital systems. Employability skills, such as problem solving, teamwork, communication, and critical thinking are integrated into the coursework. 2 hours lecture/2 hours laboratory

Prerequisite(s): MAT 070 or completion of modules 1-8 in Preparation for College Math or completion of Modules 1-4 in Preparation for College Math AND concurrent enrollment in Preparation for College Math.
