Brief description of the Unit

This unit facilitates development of knowledge and skills required for designing simple combinational and synchronous digital systems which comprise modules of larger digital systems. The unit enables understanding of timing and hazard analysis for reliable digital circuit designs and the use of Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools for design, analysis and simulation. This unit will also enable a student to develop the basic knowledge and gain an understanding of different electronic systems, perform appropriate circuit analysis, and understand operational and performance characteristics of different semiconductor devices, such as diodes, transistors, operational amplifiers, etc.
