Beschreibung: This course covers the fundamentals of computer engineering necessary for design and analysis of hardware. The topics include Boolean algebra, basic minimization methods, coding of information, arithmetic and logic functions with binary codes, design of digital circuits (combinational and sequential) as well as basics of automata and microprogramming. Based on Boolean algebra and information coding, the functions of gates and similar components of digital circuits are explained. These components are used to design more complex functions up to the modules required for the set up of a basic microcomputer. Lernziele: Student learn the way of thinking in the world of boolean algebra and coding. They are able to use their knowledge for the design of simple digital circuits as well as to apply it to other fields of application. |
