ECET331 – Digital Integrated Circuits Page 1 of 4 The Kimmel School of Construction Management and Technology Department of Engineering and Technology Course Syllabus for Fall 2009 ECET 331 – Digital Integrated Circuits 4 Credits Instructor: Paul Yanik Contact Info: Office: 338 Belk Building Office Phone: 828-227-2166 E-mail: [email protected] Website: http://paws.wcu.edu/pyanik Office Hours: See scheduled posted at my office or website Meeting Periods: Lecture: 3:35pm – 5:15pm Tuesday, Belk 355 Recitation: 3:35pm – 5:15pm Thursday, Belk 355 Lab: 11:15am – 12:55pm Thursday, Belk 355 Course Description: Study of combinational and sequential digital circuits using integrated circuit techniques. Course Goals: Students successfully completing the course will: 1. State the basic concepts of number systems, Boolean algebra, combinatorial and sequential logic circuits and their applications to digital systems. 2. Design, write, simulate and verify digital circuits using an HDL and supporting applications. 3. Design and construct digital circuit prototypes using discrete components. Port HDL-based designs to programmable logic devices and validate their behavior in a hardware environment. 4. Write effective technical laboratory reports. Prerequisites: ECET 231 Corequisites: None Required Text: Dueck, R.K. (2001). Digital Design with CPLD Applications and VHDL. Albany, New York: Thomson Delmar Learning. ISBN: 0-7668-1160-3. Instructional Approach: Course material will be introduced during lecture. Reading assignments and homework will be assigned to reinforce material covered in class. Occasional quizzes will be given to ensure that students are maintaining pace with the assigned reading and homework. Time will be allocated during lectures for homework review. Students may work together during class on short assignments. In addition to lectures, homework and quizzes, students will conduct laboratory experiments. During lab, students will learn how to design, build and test digital circuits as breadboard projects as well as through computer-based design capture formats. Attendance is mandatory at all laboratory experiments.ECET331 – Digital Integrated Circuits Page 2 of 4 Students will usually work on laboratory experiments individually, although a few labs will require students to work in teams of two. Informal lab reports will be required for most lab experiments, however, formal lab reports will be required for certain labs. Formal reports must be written according to guidelines provided. Evaluation: Each student will be evaluated based on performance in the following areas. Respective weights of each performance area are as noted. • 3 tests 45% • Homework, quizzes, in-class activities 10% • Informal lab reports 20% • Formal lab reports 5% • Final exam 20% Grading Scale: The grading scale below will be used to determine final grades: Numerical Course Average Grade Assigned 98 - 100 A+ 92 – 98 A 90 – 91 A- 88 – 89 B+ 82 - 87 B 80 – 81 B- 78 – 79 C+ 72 - 77 C 70 – 71 C- 68 – 69 D+ 62 – 67 D 60 - 61 D- 0 - 59 F CC Grade: A student whose written work in any course fails to meet acceptable standards will be assigned a composition-condition (CC) mark by the instructor on the final grade report. All undergraduates who receive two CC grades prior to the semester in which they complete 110 hours at Western Carolina University are so notified by the registrar and are required to pass English 300 or English 401 before they will be eligible for graduation. This course must be taken within two semesters of receiving the second CC and must be passed with a grade of C (2.0) or better. Attendance: Although students are strongly encouraged to attend lecture, attendance will not be required. Regardless of whether a student attends class, it is their responsibility to obtain any material or assignments from fellow class members.ECET331 – Digital Integrated Circuits Page 3 of 4 Assignments: Timely and full completion of assignments is vital to student success in this course. To this end, the following policies will be in effect: • Students are expected to submit work on time. • All work must be done on non-spiral bound 8.5” x 11” sheets using the front side only, and must be completed neatly and stapled. Work which does not meet these minimum standards will not be accepted. • Any late homework will receive an automatic 30 point grade reduction. • Any work which is not submitted prior to the next regular semester test will not be accepted. Work assigned after the 3rd regular semester test will not be accepted after the last regular class meeting of the semester. • No credit will be given for labs which are not attended. • No makeup tests or quizzes will be given unless the instructor is notified prior to the absence and/or corroborating documentation of the reason for the absence is provided. Honor Code: Students are expected to comply with the spirit and intent of the University Academic Honesty Policy as stated in the Undergraduate Catalogue. Visit WCU’s Undergraduate Student Handbook for all related policies and procedures. http://www.wcu.edu/studentd/StudentHandbook. Evidence of academic dishonesty will result in a grade of F (numerically “0”) for that assignment on the first infraction. A second infraction will result in a grade of F or for the course. Accommodations for Students with Disabilities: Western Carolina University is committed to providing equal educational opportunities for students with documented disabilities. Students who require disability services or reasonable accommodations must identify themselves as having a disability and provide current diagnostic documentation to Disability Services. All information is confidential. Please contact Disability Services for more information at (828) 227-2716 or 144 Killian Annex. Classroom Policies: The following policies will be in effect during class meetings: • Cell phones must be turned off during class time. Cell phones must not be within view during tests. • Drinks, food and tobacco are not permitted in classrooms or laboratories. • Non-instructional software is not permitted on classroom or lab computers. Printing of material in lab which is not course-related is also not permitted. Student Evaluation of the
