                                         COURSE DESCRIPTION

This laboratory runs concurrently with the Digital Electronics for Industry Course.  It is intended to provide the student practical experience in laying out, constructing, testing, and troubleshooting digital circuits.  The main thrust will be to develop digital circuits for power applications.

                                          COURSE OBJECTIVES

1.       To familiarize the student with many digital integrated circuits and their parameters.

2.       To provide the student the opportunity of constructing complex digital circuits from basic ICs.

3.       To learn the interactions of digital IC circuits, how to troubleshoot and repair them.

4.       To instruct the student in digital wiring practices and noise problems.
