Combinational and sequential logic
The following slideshows (now in PDF) were prepared for the lectures of the "computer engineering" component of a new freshman course in electrical and computer engineering, given at the University of Queensland in the second semester of 1995:
- Digital Logic and Gates (43 slides)
- Introduction to Binary Numbers & Arithmetic (48 slides)
- Minimization and Implementation of Logic Functions (82 slides)
- Introduction to Sequential Logic (33 slides).
Although I (Putland) am the sole author of the slideshows, the actual lectures were delivered by another staff member, who was also responsible for the associated tutorials. The course ran for only two years before it was superseded again, due to a complete overhaul of the curriculum.
The original PowerPoint files were "printed" to PostScript files in 2002. This step accounts for the dates on the slides and for the slightly ragged graphics, e.g. in OR-gate symbols and depictions of 7-segment displays. The PostScript files were converted to PDF in 2003.
Acknowledgment: For whatever I know or once knew about digital logic, I am largely indebted to the works of R. H. Katz, M. Morris Mano, and John F. Wakerly.
