Digital circuits are everywhere, from basic thermostat controls and stop light sequencers, up to smart phones, computers and even Mars Rovers! This course, EGR 390 (replacing CSC 270), covers the basic building block for all electronics: the transistor. We then investigate basic logic circuits, combinatorial logic, flip-flops and finite state machines. The second part of the semester focuses on microprocessors, using the Arduino and Raspberry Pi. Students will build a variety of circuits with input (from a computer, or from the environment via sensors) and programmed output (LEDs, sound, data sent to a computer). Each week will have some class/lecture time and some dedicated laboratory time. Pre-requisites: CSC 111, and either EGR 220 or CSC 231. Instructor permission only.

[CE] EGR/EGN Major only; JR/SR only

Permission is required for interchange registration during the add/drop period only.
