For:   M  

 

Prel. scheduled hours: 36
Rec. self-study hours: 71

  Area of Education: Technology

Main field of studies: Electrical Engineering

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): G1

Aim:
To learn the use of digital circuitry in control systems for processes and machines. In the end of the course the student should know about how to:
  • analyze digital networks and describe their functionality
  • realize digital networks according to a description of its functionality
  • realize the construction into hardware
  • describe how an analogue signal can be processed into a digital signal and vice versa.
As sub elements the student should know how to:
  • perform calculations using boolean algebra
  • conclude if a problem description is related to a combinatorial circuit or a sequential network
  • make a function table for a combinatorial network on the basis of a problem description
  • make a state graph for a sequential network on the basis of a problem description
  • minimize a state graph
  • realize a state graph into a sequential network with different kinds of flip-flops
  • use Karnaugh diagram to find minimal solutions for combinatorial networks
  • use special circuits and memory circuits to realize logic functions and systems
  • apply fault tracing in a digital network


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Ability to handle simple mathematical functions and solve basic electricity problems, for example by using Ohms law.

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Supplementary courses:
Courses in the area of computer hardware and architecture, control engineering and electrotechnical project courses.

Organisation:
Seminars and laboratory work.

Course contents:
The lectures/tutorials and laboratory work deal with:
  • Number systems and codes.
  • Boolean algebra.
  • Combinatorial networks.
  • Iterative networks
  • Specialized circuits, for example multiplexer, and memory circuits etc.
  • State maps and sequential circuits.
  • A/D and D/A converters.
