CS-MJ-T-2 · Digital System Design

Major theory · 4 credits.

  1. Combinational circuits: logic gates, adders, multiplexers, decoders, encoders, parity, Gray code, seven-segment display and comparators.
  2. Sequential circuits: latches, clocks, flip-flops, counters and registers.
  3. D/A and A/D converters, DTL and TTL, fan-in/fan-out, noise margin, SSI through VLSI.

CS-MJ-P-2 · Digital System Design Lab

Major practical · 2 credits. Suggested experiments include adders, multiplexers, decoders, parity checkers, comparators, displays, flip-flops, counters and RAM chips.

ORIGINAL PRACTICE · NOT AN OFFICIAL QUESTION PAPER

Study suggestions

Original prompts, not exam predictions.

  1. Logic: Design a full adder from basic gates and verify its truth table.
    Answer guide

    List inputs A, B and carry-in; derive sum and carry-out and check all eight cases.

  2. Sequential: Explain why a flip-flop retains state while a combinational circuit does not.
    Answer guide

    Contrast output dependence on present input alone versus stored state and clocking.
