Tutor:

Neurčen (gar.)

Supervisor:

Department of Computer Science and Engineering

Synopsis:

The students get acquaintance with design of combinatorial and sequential circuits, namely those used in digital computers from gate level to MSI and LSI. Analysis and basic testing methods are included. Laboratory part allows the student to relate the learned concepts with practical design in a real working environment.

Requirements:

Active participation in lab courses is necessary, homework.

Exam:

1: 50 - 42 points

2: 41 - 35 points

3: 34 - 25 points

failde: less then 24 points
