Abstract:
The subject has the objective to familiarize students with the main problems of digital electronics. It links the
functions of digital elements with their microelectronic basis on one hand, and on the other hand – with their
application when building pulse and digital devices. Profound knowledge of electrical engineering and
semiconductors is a prerequisite for the course. The subject helps to give knowledge in the field of hardware.
Course content:
Boolean algebra. Synthesis and analysis of combinational circuits. Digital circuits with memory. Forming circuits.
TTL integrated circuits. CMOS logic integrated circuits. Triggers. Schmidt triggers. Multi-vibrators. Generators of
linear voltage. Impulse circuits with operating amplifiers. Particularities of integrated circuits with middle scale of
integration. Interface circuits.
Teaching and assessment:
The lectures give the students the opportunity to get acquainted theoretically with the main aspects of digital
electronics before the laboratory exercises. The students must be prepared for each practice session and at the
end prepare a report for each of them. The exam is held as a written test.

Abstract:
The objective of the Computer organization course is for the students to familiarize themselves with the arithmetic
and algorithmic fundamentals of computer circuitry and most of all - with the structure and way of operation of the
CPU. The following is considered in details: structure and way of operation of arithmetic and logic unit, control unit,
registers, RAM, cache, interrupt system. Modern RISC and CISC/RISC processors are analysed in detail
The course is linked to the following subjects: Analysis and Synthesis of Logic Circuits, Microprocessors,
Computer Peripherals, Computer Architectures, etc.
Course content:
Arithmetic basis – counting systems, arithmetic computations, presentation and coding of numeric, character and
logic data. CPU - definition, classification, main components. Structure of arithmetic and logic units. Structure of
control units. Memory structure – registers, cache, RAM. Structure of interrupt systems. Example RISC and
CISC/RISC processors.
Teaching and assessment:
At the lectures the students are familiarized with the theoretic aspects of the structure and ways of operation of
different CPU components. At the practice sessions, hardware and software models of main processor units and
blocks are explored.
