Course Objectives

CENG232 provides the students with the necessary background for designing hardware intensive systems. It reviews basic principles of digital hardware design, including combinational and sequential circuits and optimization methods. It proceeds with design principles underlying digital systems from simple components to more complex systems. It covers the use of algorithmic state machines to solve complex sequencing systems and teaches the foundations of how computing systems work. The course is supported by applied laboratory components that support the learning and application of these components.


Course Content

Introduction to computer architecture. Number systems. Boolean algebra. Logic gates and flip flops. Combinational and sequential circuit design. Registers, counters. Bus transfer. RAM, ROM units. Instruction execution and hardwired control.


Course Learning Outcomes

At the end of this course, students will be able to:

  • Recall and explain the components of combinatorial and sequential circuits
  • Design, analyze and verify digital systems, simple to complex, using combinational logic and sequential logic design methodologies
  • Recall, differentiate and apply circuit optimization methods
  • Construct algorithmic state machine structures to solve digital logic design problems
  • Recall, interpret, design and debug Verilog programs to implement combinational and sequential circuits in hardware.
  • Recall the basic principles and methodologies of computer hardware design
