Course detail

Digital Electronics 1

FEKT-BPC-DE1Acad. year: 2019/2020

Course is focused to digital technique. Students become familiar with the basic parts of digital devices and Boolean algebra. The course is dedicated to the design of combinatorial systems, forms of interpretation and realization. Further, the course is focused to sequential devices and microcontrollers. All blocks and gates are described in VHDL language as well, therefore students get practical experiences with a hardware description language.
