Course content

Digital Circuits

  • Number systems and codes
  • Boolean algebra
  • Karnaugh diagrams
  • Logic gates and combinational logic
  • Latches, flip-flops, counters and synthesis of syncronous sequential circuits
  • Memory circuits

Programming

  • Program structure
  • Development tools
  • Data types, variables
  • Operatores
  • Control structures (loops and conditional statements)
  • Functions and parameters -
  • Structures
  • Arrays
  • Pointers

Learning outcome

After completing the course, the student should have a basic understanding of the topics of digital circuits, programming, and be able to develop a simple computer program.

Knowledge

The candidate must understand

  • the basic topics in digital circuits
  • the basic topics in programming and algorithm structure
  • the progress of a programming project from problem formulation to ready-tested solutions, including an example of a development platform with relevant tools

Skills

The candidate should be able to

  • convert between number systems
  • simplify Boolean functions, either using Boolean algebra or Karnaugh diagram
  • perform synthesis of sequence circuits
  • formulate a problem so that it is programmable, and then carry out program development into a working solution
  • create and process simple data structures

General competence

The candidate must

  • be able to analyze a given basic problem, and set up a circuit and program a solution
  • be able to communicate and discuss program solutions
  • have a good platform for learning other programming languages ​​
  • be able to combine elements from digital circuits, electronics (sensor circuits), and programming to construct a working system
  • be able to reflect over ethical and sustainability questions related to the topics.

Learning methods and activities

  • Lectures
  • Student active teaching (both at the individual level and as part of a group),
  • Assignments (case-assignments, laboratory assignment).
  • Supervision
  • A number of assignments must be handed in digital circuits and programmering.

Further on evaluation

The final grade (letter grade: A-F) is based on two exams: an exam covering the digital circuits part of the curriculum and an exam covering the programming part . The final grade is calculated as an average of two grade, with the following weights: digital circuit exams (40%) and programming (60%).

In the case of a re-take of any of the indiviual elements, the student is required to re-take the entire course.
