This course introduces the students to the fundamental concepts of digital computer organization, design and architecture. It aims to develop a basic understanding of the building blocks of the computer system and highlights how these blocks are organized together to architect a digital computer system.
At the end of the course, students should be able to:
Unit 1
Digital Logic Circuits: Logic Gates, truth tables, Boolean Algebra, digital circuits, combinational circuits, sequential circuits, circuit simplification using Karnaugh map, Don’t Care Conditions, flip-flops, characteristic tables.
Unit 2
Digital Components: Half Adder, Full Adder, Decoders, Multiplexers, Registers and Memory Units.
Unit 3
Data Representation and Basic Computer Arithmetic: Number system, complements, fixed and floating point representation. Alphanumeric representation. Addition, subtraction.
Unit 4
Basic Computer Organization and Design: Common Bus system, instruction codes, instruction format, instruction set completeness, Sequence Counter, timing and control, instruction cycle, memory reference instructions and their implementation using arithmetic, logical, program control, transfer and input output micro-operations, interrupt cycle.
Unit 5
Central Processing Unit: Micro programmed Control vs Hardwired Control, lower level programming languages, Instruction format, accumulator, general register organization, stack organization, zero-address instructions, one-address instructions, two-address instructions, three- address instructions, Addressing Modes, RISC, CISC architectures, pipelining and parallel processing.
Unit 6
Memory Organization and Input-Output Organization: Input-Output Organization: Peripheral Devices, I/O interface, I/O vs. Memory Bus, Programmed I/O, Interrupt-Driven I/O, Direct Memory Access.
