Electronic Instruments Technology

The course provides students with the most important functional blocks of electronic devices. These are electrical power supply components and, in particular, analogue circuits for generating, modifying and evaluating the signal. Further, the course introduces students to the basics of digital technology by designing combinational and sequential logic functions. Differences in logic design with conventional integrated circuits and programmable CPLD / FPGAs are explained. In the individual exercises the students verify the function of simple and complex logic circuits in the simulator and also in the FPGA emulator. The topics discussed are the connections between logic circuits and real-world environments, semiconductor memories and digital communications. The course prepares students to work with digital technology and prepares them for other subjects with programmable circuits, embedded systems and microprocessor technology.
