Base Knowledge
It does not require experience in electronics.
Teaching Methodologies
1- Lectures: are presented the fundamental concepts and techniques for analysis and design of digital circuits. Those concepts are fundamental for laboratorial classes. Some digital circuits of low and medium complexity will be designed (adders, subtractors, multipliers and several state machines).
2- Practical classes: resolution of exercises (analysis and design of combinational circuits and sequential circuits) and carrying out practical work.
Learning Results
The aim is for students to acquire skills in the basic principles of digital systems in terms of information representation and logical operations, as well as skills that will enable them to understand the elements that make up a computer on the scale of digital electronic circuits and the possibility of solving problems using these same circuits.
