Students acquire survey of the programmable logic device types and of their use in digital design. They become familiar with development systems and with their use for description, synthesis, implementation and simulation of digital systems.

Knowledge of digital design on the Bachelor´s degree level is requested.

Not applicable.

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

The computer exercises and result of the final examination are evaluated.
