Course detail
Digital Electronics 2
FEKT-BPC-DE2Acad. year: 2020/2021
Course is focused to microprocessor technique and to the usage of the technique in embedded systems. Students become familiar with the digital technique, especially with the synchronous systems. Further, course is focused to 8-bit microcontrollers programing in language C and assembly language. Students get practical experiences with individual parts of the microprocessors' systems. The course also deepens knowledge and experience with the C programming language.
