Digital Electronics IT24SP (5cr)

Evaluation scale

Five step scale

Objective

The student understands the fundamental topics in digital system design. He/she is familiar with basic concepts of the digital techniques and their mutual dependences. The student knows essential applications of the digital electronics and constructions.

Methods of completion

Lectures and laboratory exercises. At least two comprehensive web based exercise to be completed independently. 30% of total lectures are reserved for laboratory and final exercises. Furthermore students have to do a necessary amount of self-study of the web based tutorials in order to complete the exercises.
