Third online class of part time course – Electronic System Design, which emphasize on the topic of Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) and Finite State Machine (FSM). ALU is a core built of the CPU – that basically made up a computer. Understanding the fundamental of how these units operates digitally plays an important part in developing the competencies for electronic system designers. the topic begins with a simple structure of a half adder and later transits to full adder, ripple carry adder and carry look ahead adder.
The second part of the class focuses on FSM, which elaborates on the two well known concept – Moore and Mealy machines. The concepts of counters and its variabilities were revised and later build up with the two machines mentioned previously.
