Digital Techniques
SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The Digital Techniques Course introduces the basic principles of solid-state devices
used in logic control equipment. These principles are applied to the microprocessor field
as well as to industrial controllers. The course introduces students to the components
used in logic circuits and is then followed by the wiring of sub-systems and basic
systems. A keypad is used for the entry of program data.
The comprehensive laboratory manuals were written for self-study. Standard test
instruments are required for evaluation of the circuitry. The course serves well as a
foundation for telecommunications, biomedical electronics, and industrial process control
programs.
The panels for this course may be powered by inserting them into the Master Builder
(S300B), the Smart Builder (S400)C, or the Power Supply Base (S300PSB). If it is
desired to breadboard panel circuits or to do general breadboarding, select the
S300B.
COURSE TIME: 125 hours
PANEL SPECIFICATIONS
Two panels contain basic logic devices. All the devices are mounted.
Insertion jacks (which accept no. 22 gauge wire) are located conveniently to the inputs
and output of each devise. The power bus of each devise is pre-wired.
The first panel contains a clock generator (variable 8 Hz to 26 MHz) and various logic
elements whose operation is analyzed.
The second panel contains a digital display and the necessary drive elements. A keypad
accessory can program the various devices so that stored numbers can be recalled.
