This document provides an overview of the course content for Digital Electronics. It begins by defining digital electronics as the study of digital signals and devices that use or produce them. It then discusses the history from vacuum tubes to transistors to integrated circuits. It covers the basics of ICs, classification of ICs by size, and Moore's Law. Applications of digital electronics are described along with advantages and disadvantages compared to analog. Career opportunities in fields like RTL engineering and FPGA development are highlighted. Finally, the expected course outcomes are outlined as understanding number systems, combinational and sequential circuits, hazards, and implementing designs using programmable logic.

3. What is Digital Electronics ???
Digital electronics is a field
of electronics involving the
study of digital signals and the
engineering of devices that use
or produce them.

4. Digital ElectronicsQuickHistory
• Prior to digital technology, electronic transmission was limited
to analog technology, which transmitted and received data as
electronic signals by varying frequency or amplitude.
• In the 1930's the prototypes of the computer were constructed
using mechanical switches ( vacuum tubes ).
• During 1940's electronic diodes were used, while these were
better than earlier but they were not reliable.
• The next stage of development took in 1947 with the
transistors, which was much smaller, faster and cooler than
earlier technology. Also transistors were replaced by integrated
circuits (ICs) and that got smaller and smaller with the
enhancements in fabrication technology.

Name Signification Year Transistors number Logic gatesnumber
SSI small-scale integration 1964 1 to 10 1 to 12
MSI medium-scale integration 1968 10 to 500 13 to 99
LSI large-scale integration 1971 500 to 20,000 100 to 9,999
VLSI very large-scale integration 1980 20,000 to 1,000,000 10,000 to 99,999
ULSI ultra-large-scale integration 1984 1,000,000 and more 100,000 and more

7. Moore’s Law

8. TheDigitalRevolution

9. TheDigitalRevolution
• Similarly many types of devices have been converted
from analog to digital.
• In all these digital devices, information is processed,
transmitted and received as long strings of 1s and 0s.

10. Advantages of Digital Electronics
• Information storage is easier.
• Less affected by Noise.
• Easier to design and more precise representation of a signal can be
done.
• More digital circuitry can be fabricated on IC chips.
• Error management method can be inserted into the signal path to
detect and correct errors, if not at least ask for a new copy of the
data.

11. Disadvantages of Digital Electronics
1. Wherever ,Conversion to digital format and re-conversion to
analog format is needed, in a system it also includes the loss of
information.
2. In some cases, digital circuits use more energy than analog
circuits and produce more heat and need heat sinks.
3. Digital circuits are sometimes more expensive,
especially in small quantities.

12. FutureScopes OfDigitalElectronics
 The digital electronics uses VLSI technology, which has
considerably decreased the size and area of the circuit
boards, and has enhanced the accuracy and performance
of the systems.
 Moreover, digital systems have the advantage of data
encryption for the communication purposes !
 The data transmission is safe and secure.
 All these factors clearly show that the digital electronics
stream has wide future scope in this modern era !
