Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the students should:
- Have knowledge of Boolean algebra and basic logic circuits
- Be able to design both combinational and sequential digital systems
- Be able to perform analysis and synthesis of digital electronic systems
- Be familiar with the developments in digital electronics over the past decades
- Be able to develop digital electronics systems using relevant software
- Be able to realize digital systems in programmable logic circuits using a hardware description language (VHDL)
- Be able to simulate, test and verify the functionality of digital systems
- Know how to plan and execute design tasks alone or with others
- Be able to communicate academic knowledge in writing and orally
- Be able to participate in professional discussions in digital electronics and share their experiences with others
Examination requirements
The compulsory theory and laboratory assignments must be approved in order to take the examination. Information about the compulsory assignments is given in Canvas in the beginning of the semester.
Teaching methods
Lectures, theory exercises and laboratory exercises. Some of the assignments are compulsory, an overview of this is given at the start of the semester in Canvas. Laboratory assignments take place in the electronics laboratory using laboratory equipment, digital tools and various hardware, and are performed under the guidance of student assistant and / or professional teachers in groups of max. 3 students. Training is provided in use of professional-related software and hardware. The students develop their own electronic circuit solutions and realize them in an FPGA to solve the practical exercises. Compulsory laboratory exercises are approved by oral presentation and demonstration in the laboratory.
Expected workload for the average student: 135 hours.
Evaluation
The person responsible for the course decides, in cooperation with student representative, the form of student evaluation and whether the course is to have a midway or end of course evaluation in accordance with the quality system for education, chapter 4.1.
Offered as Single Standing Module
Yes. Subject to availability or capacity.
Admission Requirement if given as Single Standing Module
Higher Education Entrance Qualification including mathematics R1 and R2 and physics Fysikk 1, or a pass in the preliminary course examination for engineers (which is also offered at University of Agder).
Assessment methods and criteria
4 hours individual written examination. Graded assessment.
