Base Knowledge
No previous courses are advised.
Teaching Methodologies
The teaching of the course is based on classroom exposition and laboratory classes in which will be carried out related experimental work. The assessment is done by weighting the scores for a final exam, as well as those resulting from the implementation and reporting of laboratory work.
Learning Results
Provide the theoretical and practical aspects of the analysis and synthesis of digital systems (combinational and sequential). To provide an introduction to digital systems design using computational tools to specification with hardware description languages, simulation and synthesis. Skills: To know, understand, and apply learning to use sizing systems. To know and understand the principles of Digital Systems. Understanding and mastering the Boolean Algebra. To know, understand the combinational circuits from the point of view of analysis and synthesis.

Curricular Unit Teachers
José Pedro de Matos Nogueira AmaroGrading Methods
The course assessment consists of:
Laboratory evaluation with a rating of 12 out of 20. The theoretical component with a rating of 8 out of 20. Both components have a minimum rating of 40%.
The laboratory component is carried out with 2 laboratory tests, a set of works with weekly frequency and a final project.
The two tests are rated as follows: 1st test 2 values; 2nd test 2 values.
The delivery of all laboratory work is quoted with up to 2 values, depending on the individual evaluation of each work.
The final project is quoted for 6 values.
The final project, as well as the weekly assignments, are evaluated in an oral individual defence.
Non-attendance to any of the assessment elements determines a null assessment of that component.
The theoretical component is assessed with a final exam. The theoretical assessment of the exam may be subject to a complementary oral exam.
The final grade must exceed 9.5 values and there is a limit of 2 unexcused absences in the laboratory component.
