Fundamentals of Digital System Design
Course description
This course teaches the fundamental theory and design methods for digital
systems. Topics include: logic functions minimization, combinational
circuit design, synchronous and asynchronous sequential circuit design,
state diagrams, Mealy and Moore circuits, state minimization and assignment,
basic computer organization, and controller implementation. This course
also teaches the use of software tools for design, minimization,
simulation, and schematic capture of digital systems. The digital systems
that are designed will be implemented using MSI, LSI, and field
programmable gate arrays.

How to get more information
Due to the quantity of students in this class, maintaining and using a
class mailing list is infeasible. Therefore, there is a class webboard, which you should
read frequently. The news group resides on the news.cs.utah.edu
server and can be read from all over campus. The webboard will be used to
answer all questions and to provide any additional information about
homeworks. Is will also be an additional medium to lecture for
announcements concerning homeworks, labs, test, and deadlines. All
questions that are of a general interest to the class should be posted
to the news group. Questions on a personal level need to be directed
to your assigned TA or to Professor Myers.

Homework & Projects
Homework should be turned into EE locker #1. Located in MEB just
North-East of the main EE office. Homework will be graded and
returned to the EE homework room within one week. There is no
provision for turning in late homework or projects. All homework,
labs, etc. are assumed to be correctly graded one week after they are
returned. If you have a question regarding you grade, please contact
your TA or the person who graded the problem ( for tests ) to address
the issue. If there are any questions on grading, they must be
addressed within one week of receiving a graded assignment. After the
one week has lapsed, no changes will be considered. Please put the
name of your discussion section TA on all homework and projects.
