Modelling of Digital Circuits

Basics of digital electronics and Basics of programming

Design and implementation of simple counters (automata) by circuit diagrams and VHDL and (System)Verilog HDL, describe the structure and function of thecentral processing unit (CPU) of a computer, use basic digital circuits in the design of a larger circuit, knows the principles of computer arithmetics and their realisations, describe FPGAs, describe, design, implement and test a simple digital circuit using HDL (VHDL and/or (System)Verilog) and implement it on FPHA. Course develops literal skills (reporting) and IT-skills (modeling of parallel processing, energy efficient computing, economic testing).

In addition the course develops

• information technology and digitalization skills
• sustainable development of electronic systems
• modelling methods and tools
• problem solving and decision making
• analytical and critical thinking
