Coding of numbers expressed in system with some radix in binary number system. Basic Boolean rules, Boolean functions expressed with truth table, using of Boolean rules for simplification of Boolean functions. Basic Boolean logic functions (AND, OR, INVERT) used for writing of general Boolean functions. Minimization made with help of Boolean rules, Karnaugh maps, Quine-McCluskey method. Terms, minterms, maxterms, fundamental sum of products and fundamental product of sums. Combinational logic circuits. Decomposition of logic functions and its using for logic circuits design. Basic mathematical operations in binary number system. Their realization with help of logic circuits. Binary adder, binary subtracter. Realization of more complicated functions (operations). Realization of logical functions with help of multiplexers, decoders, read only memories. Flip-flops as a special case of sequential logic circuits. R-S, J-K, D, T -flip-flops. Design of combination sequences (special sequential circuits) with J-K, D, T flip flops. Register, shift register, their realization and using. Two's complement, mathematical operations in two's complement. Sequential circuits, design of synchronous sequential circuits, sequential machine.
