Course content

3 sections • 13 lectures • 3h 21m total length

  • Introduction to Digital Logic Families7:15

    Explore digital logic families, learn how ICs unify CMOS and TTL designs, and build real circuits to lay a solid foundation for VLSI, embedded systems, and FPGA development.

  • Identification of Logic Family of a given IC and their Packages5:54

    Identify digital ic logic families from printed codes, like ttl and cmos, using letters l, h, s, ls, and als, and recognize packaging types dip, smt, plcc, bga, and lga.

  • Understanding the Datasheet of an IC7:39

    read and interpret an ic datasheet to obtain voltages, currents, and temperatures; compare ttl and cmos families, review fan-out, propagation delay, power dissipation, and interfacing requirements.

  • Verification of truth Table for Basic and Universal Gate IC11:31

    Verify truth tables for basic and universal gate ICs in a hands-on session, using 7400 nand, 7432 or, and 7404 not gates on a trainer kit.

  • Design and implement full adder and full subtractor function using IC-7413831:15

    Design and verify a full adder and a full subtractor using the IC 74138 3-to-8 decoder and the IC 4012 dual four-input NAND gate, with truth-table validation.

Requirements

  • Curiosity and willingness to learn through hands-on experiments.

Description

Are you ready to move beyond theory and actually build digital circuits that work?
Welcome to “Hands-on Digital Electronics: Laying the Path to VLSI” — a fully practical, project-driven course designed for students, beginners, and enthusiasts who want to truly master digital electronics through real demonstrations.

In this course, you won’t just learn logic gates and flip-flops from slides — you’ll see them come alive on the trainer kits! Through detailed, step-by-step hardware demonstrations, you’ll design, connect, and test a wide range of combinational and sequential circuits using popular ICs from the 7400 series. Each experiment focuses on developing your ability to analyze circuit behavior, verify truth tables, and understand how digital systems make real-world decisions.

You’ll start with basic logic gates, adders, multiplexers, and decoders, and gradually move toward flip-flops, counters, shift registers, and other sequential elements that form the backbone of modern digital systems. Every module is taught through hands-on implementation, ensuring that your learning goes beyond simulation or theory.

By the end of this course, you’ll have the confidence to design, test, and troubleshoot your own digital circuits and apply these concepts to advanced domains like VLSI, FPGA, and Embedded Hardware Design. Whether you’re an engineering student or a passionate learner, this course will strengthen your fundamentals and prepare you for a successful career in the electronics industry.

Who this course is for:

  • Learners who want hands-on experience with digital circuits.
  • Hobbyists or beginners interested in digital electronics and circuit implementation.
