Duration :  16h Th, 8h Pr
Number of credits :  
Master in Environmental Bioengineering, Professional Focus, 1st year2
Lecturer :  Bernard Heinesch
Language(s) of instruction :  
French language
Organisation and examination :  
Teaching in the second semester
Course contents :  
  • Numbering systems, Boole algebra
  • Logical variables and functions, function table, Karnaugh diagram
  • Combinational functions : full adder, comparator, binary decoder, multiplexer, priority encoder.
  • Sequential functions : bistables, flip flops, Latches, shift register, counters.
For each item, students will have to solve applications related to the field of climatic and environmental parameter measurement and regulation.
Learning outcomes of the course :  
To give the basics of conception of electronic circuits to be used in the field of environmental and climatic measure and regulation.
After completing the course the student is expected to be able to:
