COURSE SYLLABUS
Course Number:
ELC 111.2
Department/Program: ECCE
Semester:
2nd
Title: Digital Design Lab
School: SOSE
School Year: SY08-09
Instructor: Carlos M. Oppus
A. COURSE DESCRIPTION
Digital System Design covers number system, combinatorial logic, sequential
system and algorithmic state machine. The course aims to guide the student into
developing a working knowledge of digital system through a hands-on laboratory
set-up. At the end of the course, the student is expected to be familiar with basic
gates, decoders, multiplexers, programmable logic devices, flip-flops, registers,
counters, among others. The student will encounter these components in
development kits and breadboard circuits, and will also have the chance to design
and solve digital system problems.
B. COURSE OBJECTIVES
To have a hands-on understanding of the fundamental concepts of Digital
Design System. To learn logic gates, ssi, msi and lsi devices.

Each exercise is graded on a 100-point basis. The score will be based on the lab
performance (60%) and the quality of the written report (40%). All exercises must be
defended orally. Orals are on an individual basis. The project is worth 200 points.
In the performance of an experiment, all necessary data/diagram/listing must be
copied on a bond paper. This is to be signed by the teacher at the end of the lab
period. This signed paper must be included in the submission of the lab report. A
deduction of 5 points per day for late presentation will be enforced.
A lab report is null and void if submitted without a data sheet signed by the instructor.
A deduction of 5 points per day for late reports will be enforced. If the instructor is
not around kindly submit the report to the ECCE secretary.
Lab reports must be type-written or printed and must follow the lab report format.
Cleanliness and order must be kept in the lab. Things to do before leaving the lab:
store all equipment properly, clean your table of visible debris, arrange the chairs.
You are responsible for your own work area.
Lab Report Format
 Name of group member/s, Date
 Exercise #, Title and abstract
 Flow chart (if applicable)
 Program listing
 Computations (if applicable)
 Schematic diagram (if applicable)
 Design Process and Discussion
You are expected to prepare the background theory for the experiment to be
performed. Describe/discuss the design process.
 Conclusion and Recommendation
From the theoretical information, you should be able to interpret the result of the
experiment.
