Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes

Digital Circuits: Describe the significance of logic swing, propagation delay, power supply requirements, power dissipation, fan in, fan out and be able to compare all the main logic families. Use Karnaugh maps. Implement combinational logic functions using multiplexors or decoders. Convert minimised combinational functions into a form suitable for multi-level implementation, including the use of all NAND or all NOR solutions. Minimise a combinational logic function using the Quine-McCluskey technique and find all minimum solutions using Petrick's method. Design and analyse small synchronous digital circuits which incorporate D, T or JK Flip Flops. Implement small synchronous circuit designs using discrete gates and flip-flops and programmable logic devices. Design and implement a small asynchronous circuit using gates or SR flip-flops.

Internet and the WWW: Construct web pages with well structured content; Write scripts that operate on the client machine to give active content to pages; Integrate audio and video into Web based documents; Understand security issues associated with E-commerce; Design a databas
