PRERREQUISITES AND RECOMMENDED PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE

No previous knowledge is required, but knowing the basic electronic components may be advisable for some sections of the course.

 

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE COURSE

The basic goal of this subject is to cover an introduction to digital electronics from an updated point of view. To this purpose, the course starts by the fundamentals, i.e., number systems, binary coding and Boolean Algebra. The study of digital circuits begins by logic gates, combinational circuits, including the simplest arithmetic circuits, and ends by sequential circuits, including latches and flip-flops, synchronous sequential circuits, registers and counters. There is one chapter devoted to memories and another one devoted to programmable logic devices. An introduction to digital systems and microprocessors is also included.


OBJECTIVES: KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS

  • Know the basic components of digital systems, from the logic level to the Register-Transfer level
  • Analyze, design and implement simple digital circuits


TEACHING MATERIAL

  • 11 Lessons organized in 4 Units
  • Proposed exercises for each Unit


 PRACTICAL ASSIGMENTS AND ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES

Evaluation of students is based on the results of the following activities:

  • Laboratory exercises
  • Exercises
  • Final exam
