Course detail

Pulse and Digital Techniques

FEKT-CICTAcad. year: 2017/2018

Course is focused to two domains: impulse and digital techniques. Students become familiar with the analog circuits, used for transmission and processing of nonlinear systems. Further, students get the theoretical and experimental experiences with design and implementation of the combinational and sequential systems. Part of the course is the programing in VHDL language and its application for programmable logical devices.
