CEN 251 - Advanced Digital Circuits

7.0 Credits
Advanced training in digital electronics. Covers analyzing, functional testing, and systematic troubleshooting of digital circuits designed with logic dates, flip-flops, one shots, counters, dividers, decoders, shift registers, memory circuits,latches, and buffers. Prerequisite: CEN 163 or training in basic digital circuits or instructor permission.

Course Objectives
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to:

Analyze and predict actual circuit operation of different types of digital circuits, using the thinking tools of basic electronics. [REASON]
Design functional tests for different types of digital circuits. [REASON]
Perform a functional test, interpret results, choose a circuit stimulus, and make systematic measurements, to isolate a fault. [REASON]
Document one’s testing and troubleshooting process by recording information on a form and schematic. [COMMUNICATE]
