Digital System Design

Digital system design course focuses on design digital system from scratch. The course focuses on designing combinational and sequential building blocks, using these building blocks to design bigger digital systems. During this course we also learn how to use Verilog to design/model a digital system. INTENDED AUDIENCE :CSE, EE, ECE undergraduate studentsPREREQUISITES : NoneINDUSTRIES SUPPORT :Any VLSI related company: Intel, AMD, TI, nVIDIA, Qualcomm, etc.

Week 1:Introduction of digital systems. Number system
