Digital design fundamentals

We are currently living in a modern era, where everyone’s life runs on electronic gadgets. We all are in need of smartphones and laptops to function in our day to day lives. Such gadgets need to be designed with atmost precision and accuracy, for it to satisfy its goal with better performance. This course is provided with an intention to help a beginner start his/her journey towards designing logic circuits and devices.

This course will guide you through the basics of digital system design, starting from scratch. We will cover the mathematics behind these designs and discuss about logic gates, that form the fundamental building blocks of digital design.

Detailed Course Structure:

• Number Systems : Binary, Octal and Hexadecimal number systems
