In this paper, we proposed a method for digital logic circuit control, through arduino device programming with digital outputs, to design a curriculum for basic digital logic circuit practices. Curricula for arduino device programming and digital logic circuit are essentially practiced in engineering departments of colleges or high schools in South Korea. However, actual practice course lacks the experimental examples of digital logic circuit combined with arduino device programming. Furthermore, actual practice course lacks the curriculum in that students design and test their own digital logic circuits with the less cost than the oscilloscope. Therefore, to solve these problems in this paper, we proposed a curriculum for basic digital logic circuit practices during one semester. In this curriculum, students control and experiment their own digital logic circuits through arduino device programming with digital outputs.

In this paper, we introduce an implementation method of switch-based LED (Light Emitting Diode) Art logic circuits to help understanding the operation principle of digital logic circuits. Digital logic circuit practice using bread board is widely practiced in colleges or high schools in South Korea. However, actual digital logic circuit practice lacks examples of basic implementation, and as results of this problem, study with more complicated examples disturbs understanding the basic operation principle of digital logic circuits. Therefore, we proposed and tested an implementation method of switch-based LED Art logic circuits to help understanding the necessity of digital logic circuits which control signals of multiple output devices simultaneously.

Many digital logic circuit simulators have been developed for the education on the experiments of digital logic circuits for college or high school students. But the existing simulators have some constraints on the number of inputs of gate, on the display of gate and wire states, and on the number of logic diagrams to be simulated. 1n this paper, we propose a simulator XSIM(eXpandable digital logic circuit SIMulator) which mitigates the constraints and allows multiple diagrams for large scale logics. It is expected that the multiple diagrams on large logics are helpful for team-teaching in school.

In this paper, we proposed an Electric Circuit manipulation method to identify easily results of Digital Logic Circuits. Using this method for computer science educations, we can feasibly instruct and understand principles of a Digital Logic Circuit which is a basis of real Digital systems. Furthermore, we developed an PBL-based education program for Digital Logic Circuit concept and Boolean Algebra concept by applying the proposed Electric Circuit manipulation method and by explaining real life Digital Instrument examples. The experimental results are analyzed in views of the problem-solving ability and suitability of allocating degrees of difficulties to the developed Digital Logic Circuit problems.

In this paper, we developed an virtual lecture to study digital logic circuits. The contents is intended fer the students without or with little knowledge about electrics or electronics. For the beginners, the lecture contains the basic electronics and basic circuit theory as well as the degital logic circuits to be more practical lecture. And we developed the virtual circuit lab which uses real-like devices, circuits and interactive objects for the students to experience practical digital circuits. With the features described above, this contents would be useful for the beginners who want to studying digital logic circuits.

This paper proposes the algorithms that design the highly digital logic circuit and assign the code to each node of DCG(Directed Cyclic Graph) of length ${\zeta}$. The conventional algorithm have some problems, so this paper introduce the matrix equation from DCG of length ${\zeta}$ and proposes highly digital logic circuit design algorithms according to the DCG of length ${\zeta}$. Using the proposed circuit design algorithms in this paper, it become realized that was able to design from former algorithm. Also, making a comparison between the circuit using former algorithm and this paper's, we testify that proposed paper's algorithm is able to realize more optimized circuit design. According to proposed circuit design algorithm in this paper, it is possible to design current that DCG have natural number, so it have the following advantages, reduction of the circuit input/output digits, simplification of circuit composition, reduction of computation time and cost. And we show comparability and verification about this paper's algorithm.

In this paper, we developed an online lecture for digital logic circuit which is a basic course in electric/electronic education. Because of importance of the laboratory experiences in this course and to reflect industrial requests, we have selected most effective experimental examples in each chapter and inserted instructions for basic usags of ORCAD and digial clock design. Moreover, we developed cyber lab to design students' own circuit using Flash animation. Two features of this cyber lab are real-like graphics for devices and breadboards to improve reality and patented new IC chip objects for easy experiments, which help the students understand digital logic easily.

논리 회로는 하드웨어로 직접 구현할 수도 있으나, 설계된 디지털 논리를 프로그램으로 구현하고 이를 내장형 프로세서가 실행하게 하는 방식으로 구현할 수 있다. 이러한 구현은 내장형 시스템에 적합하도록 코드 크기와 실행 속도가 효율적이어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 복사 전파, 데드코드 삭제, 위상 정렬등의 컴파일러 최적화 기술과 함수 단위 모듈 개념을 도입하여 신호 흐름 분석 기법의 C 코드 자동 발생기를 구현하였다. 회로 시뮬레이션 구현 기법 중 유한 상태 천이 모델 기법으로 코드를 발생하는 Esterel 시스템과 성능 비교 실험을 한 결과, 코드 크기는 평균 84.17%로 감소되었으며 실행 속도는 평균 4.68배로 향상되었다.

본 논문에서는 처음 레이아웃을 접하는 학생들이 쉽게 레이아웃을 할 수 있도록 논리게이트의 입력 수에 따른 소스/드레인 접합면의 개수 및 출력 단자에 연결되는 드레인 접합면의 개수를 간단한 수식으로 설명하고자 한다. 일반적으로 디지털 회로에서는 직렬로 연결되는 트랜지스터의 경우 하나의 접합면으로 트랜지스터의 소스와 또 다른 트랜지스터의 드레인으로 동작하도록 레이아웃 된다. 그리고 출력 단자에 연결되는 드레인 접합면의 개수를 줄어야만 논리게이트의 동작속도를 향상시킬 수 있다. 그러므로 출력단자를 구성하는 드레인 접합의 개수를 수식으로 제시하고 설명함으로서 초보자도 쉽게 레이아웃을 할 수 있도록 하고자 한다.

This paper presents a framework that is based on a reconfigurable macro-model of current-mode logic (CML) high-speed digital circuits enabling equation-based design optimization. The proposed macro-model is compatible with geometric programming, thereby enabling constraint-driven top-level power optimization. The proposed optimization framework is applied to a design of CML based serial-link transmitter with user-defined design specifications as an example of high speed digital circuits using 45nm and 90nm CMOS technology. The proposed optimization framework can derive a design with optimal power efficiency for given transistor technology nodes.
