This course introduces students to the basic concepts of digital logic design, and the function and use of typical digital components belonging primarily to the small and medium scale integration (SSI, MSI) families. The design principles will be used to develop an understanding of how the functional capabilities can be provided by hardware for the operation of a microprocessor. In addition, this course will introduce the student to machine language, its relationship to the design of a computer, and its symbolic representation as assembly language. The assembly language of a particular CPU will be used to illustrate machine language programming concepts. An interactive logic simulation environment for designing and testing logic circuit design will be used for the assignments.

In-Person Examination Policy

In-person exams are handwritten ONLY. You should bring a pen/pencil and ruler for circuit drawing by hand. All circuit diagrams must be drawn using the ruler.

You can bring one A4 or US Letter sized cheat sheet, it can only be one-sided for the midterm (double for final) and completely handwritten. Prints are not allowed. You should hand in the cheat sheet with you answers.

Textbook and References

• Logic and Computer Design Fundamentals, 5th edition, M. Morris Mano, Charles R. Kime, Tom Martin, Pearson, 2016 (4th edition is also OK)
  • Update: the book can be purchased from Pearson of course
  • Update: one can also try to Google for the USED or PDF version of the 4th edition. Several reasonable results should pop up easily.

• *LogicWorks5, Capilano Computing Systems Ltd, Addison-Wesley, Manual & software used for digital hardware simulation

Mano et al. is mandatory. We are only using the LogicWorks 5 software provided with the second book, the book itself is not mandatory.

To run LogicWorks on mac, I recommend either PlayOnMac or virtual machines.

You can find a copy of both books in the Library.

Grading

Assignment	10%
Labs	40%
Quiz	10%
Midterm	20%
Final	20%

You may attempt assignments as many times you want, I will take the highest score as your final attempt.

If you get 90% in the final, you automatically get A+ for the whole course regardless of any other.

Additionally, you will need to get at least 50% in the Final, and 50% in Labs to pass.

Cheating and Plagiarism Policy

I expect all students to uphold the principle of academic honesty. Cheating and plagiarism (presenting another person’s words or ideas as one’s own) are not acceptable behaviour at anywhere. Depending on the severity of the offence such acts can result in a grade of zero on the test or assignment, a failing grade (F) in the course, or expulsion. In all cases, the circumstances and the penalty are recorded in the student’s file.
