Summary
This course introduces students to standard digital circuits and equipment for digital signal processing in electronic equipment. The basis of the analysis of the basic types of combinational and sequential logic circuits, basic ways of describing their functions and their implementation. It analyzes the modes of transmission, processing and storage. Elements are explained separately input / output relations staff.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
To familiarize students with the internal structure of electronic devices, especially with the functions and features of the digital circuits. Students should also understand the principles of digital communication devices with the environment, solving discrete inputs / outputs and the use of storage media for data storage. Students would also not forget the problems of implementation, reliability and EMC.
