Lecturer :  Jacques Destiné
Language(s) of instruction :  
French language
Course contents :  
Numbers and binary codes, boolean algebra, combinational circuits (simplification, implementation with programmable circuits), synchronous sequential circuits (registers, counters, implementation with programmable circuits), bus, memories, processing units and controllers. VHDL langage is used throughout the course.
Learning outcomes of the course :  
At the end of the course, the student will master the fundamentals of the design of digital circuits leading to the understanding of the core of an elementary computer.
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :  
None
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :  
Application problems, laboratory practical work (implementation of simple systems on PAL or CPLD from their VHDL description and on PIC microcontrollers with assembly langage programming)
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :  
face-to-face theory course and problems sessions on Thursday PM of the spring quarter.
Recommended or required readings :  
slides; textbook "Logic and Computer Design Fundamentals" ; 4rd ed., M. Morris Mano and Charles R. Kime, Prentice Hall 2008 (Ch 1 to 10).
Assessment methods and criteria :  
2 interrogations and one written exam (closed book)
