Sections from New Book:
2-6,7,8, 3-1 thru 3-8, all of Chap. 4 except HDL, Chap. 7 sections 5,6, and 7.
Notes on transistors, integrated circuits, and logic families.
Notes on Possible Forms of an equation from a K-map
Topics: - Karnaugh maps!! -Know what a k-map is, its relationship to a truth table, what a prime implicant and essential prime implicant is, and how to find them! -Know how to use a Karnaugh map to find all the appropriate forms of a boolean equation (SOP,POS,AOI,OAI,etc.) -Don't care conditions
-Combinational Design and Analysis -Know how to design and analyze circuits using and's or's and inverters, with all NAND logic, with all NOR Logic, with decoders, and with muxes - Know how to put the function in the best form for one of the implementations above. Know why it's the best form. - Understand Adders/Subtractors and their use- Know what Demuxes and Encoders are.
The most important thing you've learned in this section is how, given a problem and a type of implementation, to obtain the boolean function which provides for the most efficient realization of the circuit given your implementation constraints.
You will be allowed a 3x5 card on which to write the theorems or anything else you deem appropriate.
