Digital Theory: Intro to Digital Electronics by ETron Circuit Labs is electronic education curriculum designed for the 21st-century student. Featuring 35 exciting labs, Digital Theory picks up where The Basics V3 leaves off, teaching the necessary digital theory needed to be competitive in a technology-based job market.
The digital world is all around us and even in the palm of our hands. Such devices exist as a result of digital electronics: billions of transistors grouped into circuits designed to deliver outcomes most people simply take for granted. Students who engage with this all-inclusive lab will not only gain an understanding of how those circuits function but will also go on to design the circuits that will power the things not yet thought up.
Note This lab is fully backward compatible with Tronix Lab 2 and Mr. Circuit 2 courses.
The six lessons and 35 labs are:
Lesson 1: Component ReviewLesson 2: Digital vs. AnalogLesson 3: Digital TerminologyLesson 4: Solderless Circuit Board IntroLesson 5: Integrated Circuit SchematicsLesson 6: Intro to Flip-FlopsLab 1: LED Logic Indicator CircuitLab 2: AND Logic GateLab 3: OR Logic GateLab 4: NOT & YES Logic GateLab 5: NOR Logic GateLab 6: NAND Logic GateLab 7: 2 NAND Logic Gate “Clock"Lab 8: NAND Logic Gate “Timer"Lab 9: 2 NAND Logic Gate “Memory” (R-S Flip-Flop)Lab 10: 555 Timer ICLab 11: Binary Counter Circuit (MOD-16)Lab 12: Decode Counter Circuit (MOD-10)Lab 13: 2, 4, 8, 16 Divider CircuitLab 14: Digital Readout LED DisplayLab 15: Digital Readout DecoderLab 16: Digital Counter DisplayLab 17: Digital Up or Down CounterLab 18: 8 Output Demultiplexer CircuitLab 19: Digital Chasing LightsLab 20: Visual Logic ProbeLab 21: Touch Activated Pulse GeneratorLab 22: 555 Timer IC Pulse Train GeneratorLab 23: YES / NO Decision MakerLab 24: YES / NO / MAYBE CircuitLab 25: Stop-Action Timing CircuitLab 26: Digital Touch-Activated SwitchLab 27: Digital Stepping Touch-Activated SwitchLab 28: Digital Light-Activated CounterLab 29: Winning Number GeneratorLab 30: 1-6 Number GeneratorLab 31: D Flip-FlopLab 32: J-K Flip-FlopLab 33: Schmitt TriggerLab 34: Shift RegistersLab 35: Intro to Operational Amplifiers (Op-Amps)
