Integrated course unit module: DIGITAL ELECTRONICS: FUNDAMENTALS AND LABORATORY

Learning objectives

The course provides basic information to understand the digital systems operating principles. The course aims at making students to acquire a functional vision of digital systems, to be able to complete simple design experiences, and to become familiar with some of the common basic CAD tools.

Prerequisites

Course unit content

- Introduction to the basic concepts of information theory such as: logical abstraction model, signals, sensors and actuators, logic functions.
- Design of combinational logic networks using elementary building blocks.
- Design and synthesis of combinatorial networks.
