The ECE 2500 Homepage

Welcome. This is your official information source for Introduction to Digital Logic, a freshman-level engineering course, offered by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, currently serving approximately 70 students. In this course we examine engineering methods for designing digital logic circuits such as what is commonly found in computers and other kinds of digital hardware. ECE 2500 is a required course for students majoring in electrical engineering, computer systems engineering and computer science. Your instructor this fall is Dr. Dean Johnson, an Associate Professor in the Department.


This Week's Schedule: September 23 - 25

In the lecture, we will move on to the subject of minterms and K-maps. On Tuesday, we will address the subject of minterms and see how these representations are employed to synthesize digital logic circuits from truth tables. On Thursday we will discuss the related subject of K-maps. This is a graphical tool that will apply some of the Boolean Algebra properties that you will find very useful.

This week in the zybook, you will need to start completing the activities in the"minterms, Maxterms & K-maps" section.

This week you will be having your fourth zyLab meeting, doing Lab 3.9: CMOS and Gates and (jumping ahead a bit) Lab 6.5: CMOS and ROM, both of which investigate the usage of transistors in digital logic.
