, 1. LABORATORY COMPONENT
Practical component consists of practical sessions. Attendance at practical sessions
is compulsory and this is in line with CUT’s policy. Practicals integrates GA4 and GA8.
Students are advised to spend some time in the laboratories for preparation and
developing skills in the use of equipment. The practical assessment weights are given
in sections 1.2 and 2.5. of the Study guide. Practical is important since it forms part of
the assessment of the module (See section 2.5 in the Study guide).


Practical Title
Laboratory 1 GAL Introduction

Laboratory 2 Latches and Flip-Flops

Laboratory 3 555 Timer operation as a one shot and astable multivibrator

Laboratory 4 Synchronous counter design

Laboratory 5 Shift registers




1.1 Laboratory Practical Learning Area Outcome


Laboratory 1 (L1)
Introduction to PLDs: After the completion of this practical the student should
be able to understand the basic operation of ISPlever and GAL circuit
design. Construct and investigate the operation of the Boolean expression
given below.

Laboratory 2 (L2)
After the completion of this practical the student should be able to
understand the basic operation of latches/flip-flops and simple asynchronous
counter circuits.

Laboratory 3 (L3)
After the completion of this practical the student should be able to
understand the basic operation of monostable and astable circuits

Laboratory 4 (L4)
After the completion of this practical the student should be able to
understand the basic design and operation of synchronous circuits

Laboratory 5 (L5)
After the completion of this practical the student should be able to
understand the basic operation of shift registers. Construct and investigate
the performance of shift registers using the 74LS194 bi-directional universal
shift register.
