Fundamentos de Sistemas Digitais e de Microprocessadores

This Course does not identify previous knowledge requirements.

In the theoretical classes, the expository method predominates, complemented by the resolution and analysis of examples. Laboratory classes allow the consolidation of theoretical knowledge acquired throughout the semester through guided resolution and analysis of the results of the proposed exercises, as well as a set of guiding and structuring works.

Provide students with basic understanding of digital electronics and systems as well as microprocessor architecture.

Number formating and encoding. Numbering bases, arithmetic operations and number representation. Logical functions and sequential circuits. Arithmetic circuits. Introduction to microprocessor architecture. Inputs and outputs of microcontrollers and memory systems. Introduction to microcontroller programming.

The evaluation of the course: Continuous Assessment.

The final grade is obtained with a practical component and a theoretical component.

Theoretical component: The evaluation consists of a written test in which the student must obtain a minimum grade of 40% of this component.
Laboratory component:
The assessment consists of two tests and a set of laboratory work, preferably with a weekly frequency and a final project. The laboratory evaluation also consists of a continuous evaluation component. The weights of each component are as follows: laboratory work - 20%; continuous assessment - 15%; tests - 30% (test 1 is quoted for 10% and test 2 for 20%); final project 10%. The evaluation of the laboratory component has a minimum of 40% for admission to examination.
The final grade is obtained with a component of 25% of the theoretical exam and 75% of the laboratory evaluation and must reach a minimum total of 9.5 points.

Both assessment components may be subject to a complementary component to be carried out individually and orally. The evaluation components are maintained either in the face-to-face or distance learning modality.

Students that are unable to meet the minimum grade in either of the theoretical or laboratory components will have a grade of NRC (Does Not Meet Conditions).
