ESSENTIALS OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY This seminar is designed for Electrical Engineers who are new to the circuit design profession and for EEs who want a refresher in digital design disciplines. If you work on PCB layout, testing, quality, and manufacturing and you desire an understanding of digital circuit operation with products they must interface, this course is for you. If you are a software engineer who wants better visibility between the software coding and how it relates to computer hardware, this course is for you. If you are a manager who has responsibility for digital designs, but have not had the time to stay current with logic and computer technology, this course is for you. With this course, you will: Build a competitive edge in your career by gaining a working knowledge of how digital systems are implemented Learn how to interpret integrated circuit specifications Understand basic circuit assembly and manufacturing processes Acquire familiarity with the applications of digital building block ICs in practical electronic systems You will learn new insights and timely information on critical aspects of digital design. Robert Hanson clearly explains key concepts, offers examples, and provides many opportunities for actual practice and use of electronics essentials. From this newly gained knowledge, you can address digital design issues more effectively. "Very good anecdotes." "Real-world examples used to help explain." "Bob Hanson is very knowledgeable but most importantly he explains how things work." Participants in Mr. Hanson's courses COURSE OUTLINE, ESSENTIALS OF DIGITAL DESIGN Computers: History, micros and minis, how does a computer function, input-output dvices, CPU, arithmetic logic units, RAMs, PROMs, busses, microcode peripherals, disks, printers, hard drives. Digital Electronics: What is a digital circuit? Where are the digital circuits used? Why use digital circuits? Numbers used in Digital Electronics: Counting in decimal and binary, place value, binary to decimal conversion, decimal to binary conversion, hexadecimal numbers, and octal numbers. Device Construction and Integrated Circuits: Doping, diodes, transistors, FETs, SCRs, IBGTs, IC construction, common types of ICs including MOS devices, CMOS, NMOS, PMOS. Binary Logic Gates: AND, OR, Inverter, Buffer, NAND, NOR, Exclusive OR and Exclusive NOR, the NAND Gate as a universal gate, multi-input gates, using inverters to convert gates, practical TTL and CMOs logic gates, PLAs, PALs, and Tri-State. Using Binary Logic Gates: Boolean expressions: constructing circuits, drawing a circuit from a Maxterm Expression, and truth tables; sample problems for simplifying Boolean expressions; Karnaugh maps using NAND logic, Karnaugh maps with three and four variables. IC Specifications and Simple Interfacing: Logic levels and noise margins, digital IC specfications for MOS and CMOS ICs, interfacing TTL and CMOS with switches, LEDs and logic interfacing, interfacing with buzzers, relays, motors, and solenoids. Encoding, Decoding, and Seven-Segment Displays: Codes (8421 BCD, Gray and ASCII) encoders, seven-segment LED displays decoders, BCD-to-seven segment decoder/drivers, liquid crystal displays, using CMOS to drive an LCD display Flip-Flops: The R-S flip-flop and the clocked R-S flip-flop, the D flip-flop and the J-K flip-flop, IC latches, triggering flip-flops and Schmitt triggers. Counters: Ripple, mod-10, synchronous, up-down and self-stopping, counters as frequency dividers, TTL and CMOS IC counters. Shift Registers: Serial load, parallel load and universal 8-Bit CMOS Shift register, using shift registers. Arithmetic Circuits: Half and full adders, arithmetic logic units. Memories: Random-Access Memory (RMA), static and dynaic RAM ICs, and RAM mechanization, Read-Only Memory (RAM), using a ROM and Programmable Read-Only Memory (PROM), nonvolatile read/write memory, microcomputer memory, Operation and programming of ROM, PROM, EPROM, EEPROM, and Flash RAM. Revisiting the PC: How the PC functions from a more detailed viewpoint. Connecting with Analog Devices: D/A Conversion: basic and ladder type, operational amplifiers and A/D Converters. Today's State of the Art in Digital Circuits SMT Components: Rs, Cs, SOTs, MELFs, diodes, thin outline packages, SOICs, PLCCs, QFPs, TAB, ASICs, MCMs, CLCCs, and SMT connectors. Fine Pitch Components: Flip chip (FC), Direct Chip Attach (DCA), Controlled Collapsible Chip Connection (C4), Chip Scale Package (CSP), Chip on board (COB), and Known Good Die (KGD). Ball Grid Arrays (BGAs): The emerging packaging technology including PBGAs, CBGAs, TBGAs. You will be provided with x8 magnifiers, high-density bareboards (illustrating the layout requirements for all types of components), PCMCIA cards, and assembled circuit boards containing all of the above components. You will also view component samples of BGAs, COB, TAB, CSP, FC, MCMs, and all types of mainstream SMT components. Mr. Hanson reinforces the information presented on all the above components by using educational videos detailing all processes from removing the die from the wafer, mounting the BGA, CSP, COB, TAB, and FC onto the circuit board. The videos also illustrate mounting Rs, Cs, PLCC, SOICs, QFPs, and a variety of odd form components. www.americomseminars.com REGISTRATION INFORMATION Send the below requested information to: E-mail: americomseminars@aol.com Fax: 775-883-2384 Phone: 1-800-650-3033 (outside US, 360-479-0949) Mail the form to Americom Seminars, Inc.; 2533 No. Carson Street, Suite 4213; Carson City NV 89706 Sign up on our web page: www.americomseminars.com Share this seminar with colleagues who would benefit INFORMATION WE NEED 1.
