Lab

L2004A: Combinational Logic Circuits
L2004B: Counters and Shift Registers
L2004C: Logic Circuit Simulation

Grading: Breadboarding, combinational and sequential circuit designing.

To prepare: Read throug and attempt to solve lab manuals thoroughly (1 to 2 hours of work) before lab sessions. Google concepts foreign to you. Split the reading with your lab partner a few days earlier to make work easier. No need to have used any of the lab equipments or a breadboard before. You will be briefed on how to do things on the day itself.

To score: When at the lab, work fast and do not stop until you are done. Ask for help quickly from the lab technicians when you need it.


Textbook Content Match

Textbook Title: Digital Design: Principles and Practices 4th Edition
Author: Charles K. John F. Wakerly
E-book Availability: 4th edition is impossible to find. 3rd edition easily searchable on Google. Hard copy $20 on Carousell.
Textbook Match: 50%
Textbook Match is my own opinion on how useful the recommended text is. A comprehensive textbook might get a low Textbook Match score if the presented information is superfluous for the course. Generally, a higher score means I've used the textbook more often.
