Analog and digital values, logical levels, time diagrams. Numberic systems, operations, numerical codes. Representation of numbers in the decimal, binary, octal and hexadecimal system. Other common numerical codes: BCD, Gray code. Inverters, logical links: AND, OR, AND NOT, OR, NOT, their equivalence and non-equivalence. Boolean expressions, rules, and laws. Karnaugh’ card. Combinational logic, its transformations and applications (summators, code-comparators, encoders and decoders, and multiplexers and demultiplexers, parity control elements et al.). Registers, triggers, multivibrators, counters, timers, their types and usage. Programmable logic, the D/A and A/D converters, signal processors. Technological solutions for digital circuits, characteristics and usage.

The substance is intended to introduce digital basic concepts, number systems and Boolean algebra expressions, rules and laws of other commonly used numerical code and its usage, the most common logical links and a combination of logic and memory logic circuitry, a sophisticated combination of logic diagrams and their working principles, simple programmable logic, the benefits of usage and characteristics, types and operations of memory circuits, basics of the digital signal processing and their simplest principles, the ways and methods of analog-digital and digital-analog transformations, usage, features and technology solutions for digital circuits, simple comparison of their features and parameters.

The graduate knows basic digital concepts, number systems and Boolean algebra expressions, rules and laws for digital signal processing principles and principles of simple analog-digital and digital-to-analog transformation, technology solutions for digital circuits, their simplest features, characteristics and usage. The graduate is able to perform conversions between numberic systems and make calculations with binary numbers, can use other commonly used numerical codes, use Boolean algebra rules and transformations, understand simpler digital circuits, store information into the programmable logic or memory scheme and use the programming software.

Lectures, tests, practical works.

The course ends with the final account. Positively executed test and practical work are the prerequisites of the accounting. Test consists written questions within the framework of the lecture material. The final grade will turn out from the average grades of the test and the practical work.
