Additional information

Digital and Computer Electronics focuses on the design of digital systems, including processors and embedded systems. Various computing applications are targeted, for example, in consumer electronics and wireless networks. The share of digital and processor circuitry in electronics systems has been continuously increasing. Advanced IC technologies enable integrating entire systems into a single chip, which sets challenges for designers. Knowledge of design methods and the skilled use of tools are important factors. Students learn to understand the functionality of digital and computer systems, and to design new equipment using modern methods and design tools. This study block is only for students admitted in the International Master's Program in Information Technology.
