Digital electronics ERASMUS>ELE04

The course introduces foundational principles of digital electronics, taking students from Boolean algebra through the design, analysis and laboratory testing of combinational and sequential circuits. Lectures cover logic functions, gate families, flip-flops, counters, registers, multiplexers/demultiplexers and optimisation techniques. Practical classes and labs familiarise participants with measurement equipment and standard hardware modules, enabling them to build, verify and document increasingly complex digital systems.

Intended learning outcomes:
- Student explains the concepts and principles of Boolean algebra used to describe digital electronic circuits.
- Student mathematically describes logic elements and circuits.
- Student knows and understands the structure and operation of static and dynamic flip-flops.
- Student knows and understands the construction, operation and properties of selected sequential circuits such as counters, registers and shift registers.
- Student can create a mathematical description in the form of a logic function based on a verbal specification.
- Student can produce a logic diagram of a circuit and perform its minimisation.
- Student is able to design combinational and sequential electronic circuits.
- Student analyses and tests combinational and sequential electronic circuits.
- Student demonstrates diligence in carrying out assigned tasks.
