Massachusetts Institute of Technology 6.111 Introductory Digital Systems Laboratory

---

Spring 2002

Course Description

Prereq.: 6.002 or 6.071 or 16.040 Units: 3-7-2
Lecture: MWF Time: 1:00-2:00 Classroom: 34-101 Recitations: 34-304, Tuesday, 12:00, 1:00, 2:00, and 3:00

Lectures and labs on digital logic, flipflops, PALs, counters, timing, synchronization, finite-state machines and microprogrammed systems prepare students for the design and implementation of a final project of their choice, e.g., games, music, digital filters, graphics, etc. Possible use of lab report for Phase Two of the Writing Requirement. Six extra units possible via adding 6.905 after project proposal. 12 Engineering Design Points. For more information on course 6.111 objectives and learning outcomes, see Statement of Objectives and Outcomes .
In-charge and Lecturer: Prof. D. E. Troxel
