Digital Logical Circuits Volume I
In Digital Logical Circuits Volume I, you'll learn ...
- Recognize different types of number systems as they relate to computers
- The concepts of most and least significant digits
- How to add and subtract in binary number systems
- The application of R’s complement in subtraction
Overview
This 5-hour course is the first in a series of three courses about digital computer logic systems. This first course covers the basics of converting numbers into formats that are commonly used digital computer systems. Conversion to binary, octal, hexadecimal and BCD are covered.
The course begins with a fundamental review of the basic components of numbers, including determining the most significant digit and least significant digit in a number. From this basis, we move to adding and subtracting numbers in different bases, which is one of the fundamental computer logic operations. Conversions between bases are also covered as well as an explanation of binary coded decimal (BCD) numbers.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify different number systems as they relate to computers.
- Explain the concepts of most-significant and least-significant digits.
- Perform addition and subtraction in binary number systems.
- Apply the R’s complement method to subtraction.
- Convert decimal values to other number systems.
- Represent values as binary-coded decimal (BCD) numbers.
- Perform addition in binary-coded decimal.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 30 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
