In the mean time, they allow the hardware solutions to be prototyped,implemented, and tested with ease.

This course depends on students having mastered digital circuit fundamentals atthe gate and flip-flop level in an earlier, prerequisite course. Here, the focus is on using higher-level building blocks, traditionally classified as “MSI” (Medium Scale Integration) components,to design functional units found in digital computers and elsewhere, such as arithmetic circuits,data structure implementations, and memory systems.

It is demonstrated that the addition of sinusoids through theaddition of phasors produces the proper results for all instants of time. This result, easily provenwith trigonometry, completes the mathematics tools needed for circuit analysis.Having mastered the mathematics necessary the formal study of circuit analysis begins. Thephysical laws governing the properties of resistors, capacitors and inductors are discussed. Theselaws are shown to lead to voltage- current relationships for each circuit element that are unique
