Objectives
This unit introduces basic combinational logic and associated building blocks making up a simple processor.

Syllabus

• Computer Logic: This unit introduces booleanlogic and functions for use in combinational logic circuits. Trade offs in implementation using NOR-logic or NAND-logic are discussed. Design and implementation using various minimisation techniques including Karnaugh Maps and tabular methods.
• Computer Arithmetic: Computer arithmetic foraddition and subtraction including number representation, fixed and floating point standards, valid range and error checking.
• Computer Organisation: Basic computer and CPU organisation.  Introduction to the components making up a processor- internal registers, ALU, internal bus, multiplexers and decoders. Relations to external system units - memory and input/output.
• The basis of sequential computing:   Instructions, fetch, and execute cycle.  Addressing Modes, Special Registers, Memory Stack.  The need of control signals to sequenceALU operations.
• Computer arithmetic structures: serial andparallel full-adder. The Arithmetic Logic Unit design using a parallelfull adder.
• Computer Peripherals: The concept of Input-Outputto slow speed peripherals. Serial and Parallel Access. Magnetic and OpticStorage Devices.
