Entry requirements

Analog electronics

Learning outcomes

On completion of the course, the student should be able to:

• perform base 2, 8, 16 and BCD-code (binary-coded decimal) calculations,
• design a minimal combinatorial logic circuit that solves binary logical tasks,
• design a minimal sequential circuit that solves binary logical tasks,
• describe the structure of a logic gate,
• explain the principles of programmable circuits,
• explain the principles of analog-to-digital (AD) - and digital-to-analog (DA) conversion,
• design synchronous networks with sequential flow charts,
• design sequential circuits for programmable logic device (PLD) circuits,
• program a PLD type Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA).

Content

Number systems and codes, binary complement, logic gates, Boolean algebra, combinational circuits, memory elements, sequential circuits, finite machines, structure of logic elements structure on a transistor level (CMOS), programmable logic, a microcomputer, AD and DA conversion.

Instruction

Lectures, laboratory excercises, supervision and seminars.

Assessment

Laboratory exercises (1 credit) and written examination (4 credits).

If there are special reasons for doing so, an examiner may make an exception from the method of assessment indicated and allow a student to be assessed by another method. An example of special reasons might be a certificate regarding special pedagogical support from the disability coordinator of the university.

Other directives

The course may not be included in a degree together with 1TE646 Electronics.
