Digital electronics
Duration :
16h Th, 8h Pr
Number of credits :
Master in environmental bioengineering (120 ECTS)2
Lecturer :
Bernard Heinesch
Language(s) of instruction :
French language
Organisation and examination :
Teaching in the second semester
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite :
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit 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, applications related to the field of climatic and environmental parameter measure and regulation will be presented
Learning outcomes of the learning unit :
To give the conception basis of electronic circuits used in the field of environmental and climatic measurement and regulation.
After completing the course the student is expected to be able to
  • carry out elementary operations on binary and hexadecimal numbers
  • understand and use logical circuits data sheets
  • use elementary logical gates to conceive electronic circuits realizing combinational logic functions.
  • coordinate a series of logical operations and to conceive electronic circuits realizing sequential logic functions.
This course helps to build the skill : "Conceive technological solutions used to define equipments, systems, infrastructures and services for needs in the field of environment".
