Content

This course provides students with the basic knowledge that is required to design and understand digital circuits. First, the so-called logic- and register-transfer-design is introduced and the topics Boolean algebra, switching algebra, combinational circuits, conjunctive and disjunctive minimal forms, flip-flops (RS, JK, D, T, etc.), circuit analysis and synthesis, digital standard components, memory structures (RAM, ROM, EPROM, Flash) and programmable logic (PLA, FPGA) are deepened. Subsequently, the physical fundamentals of the functioning and application of passive components (resistors, capacitors, coils) as well as semiconductor components (diodes, transistors) are discussed and the realizations in various semiconductor technologies are dealt with.

Objectives

Students possess basic competencies in computer engineering. They know formal and programming language circuit description as well as the structure and function of all important basic circuits and arithmetic units. The students acquire the competence to design, analyze and optimize digital circuits independently. They will be able to use tools for hardware design as well as for the evaluation of characteristic properties such as power consumption.
