Our standard class meetings are in room EB 103, Mondays, Wednesdays 1:00-3:20pm.
My email is mperkows@ee.pdx.edu.

Our additional meetings are in room FAB 150, Fridays 5-7pm.

Ms Sophie Choe, the class TA and grader has her office hours on Thursdays, 4:00- 6:00 in room 100. Her email is sophchoe@pdx.edu . PLEASE USE THIS OPORTUNITY TO LEARN MORE.


TEXTBOOK: John F. Wakerly. Digital Design. Principles and Practices. Fourth Edition.
Remember, that the main reading material is the Wakerly's Book. You can learn, however, all material from class slides only. This book will be used in ECE 271 as well. So it is worthy to purchase.

The material given below is only auxiliary, to help you extend knowledge from the book.

How to learn for this class. This class includes much material and is fast paced. You have to read the mandatory slides before each lecture. If I have no time to complete the slides, you are supposed to read this material on your own. Do not read the book linearly. Read the material that you need to understand slides in full detail. If you read both the book and my slides carefully and you are able to solve the problems that you can find in this webpage, then do not worry about your grade.

WEEK OF FINALS.

Final Exam


This final exam will take exactly two hours.

EXAM
This will be a comprehensive exam that will include the entire class material,
except Verilog.
In particular, the material from ALL LECTURES , the quizz, all homeworks, and the two midterms.

    SPECIFICALLY TO REVIEW FOR FINAL:
  1. All necessary final exam material is in the lecture slides above.
    1. Synchronized Flip-flops. T. D. JK.
    2. Counters. You have to be able to design an arbitrary counter.
    3. Sequential circuits such as sequence recognizers.

OPEN BOOK.
  1. You can bring computer, slides, books, all materials that you want.
  2. However, bringing the book is of little use if you do not know what is where.
  3. I strongly suggest to have a creepsheet and a set of solved problems to use.
  4. It is also good to have formatted Kmaps to use and color pencils to show groups.



GOOD LUCK. !!

Have a good vacation.

Check your grades on the door of my room or in ECE office, room 160-05.
