Anotation:

The goal of this course is to provide the introduction into designing and realization of digital circuits. First, necessary mathematical apparatus, such as the Boolean algebra, Karnaugh maps, minimization and realization of logical functions is presented, followed by brief introduction into basics of logical circuits, such as the logical gates, flip-flops, TTL and CMOS logic etc. The second part is dedicated mainly to modern designing techniques of digital circuits using programmable FPGA and VHDL language. During these lessons, the basics of VHDL together with numerous examples are evaluated to provide a complex insight into this hardware description language and modern methods of designing and realization of digital circuits.
