Learning outcomes

By completing the course, the student will get extended knowledge in the field of design of modern digital systems based on programmable logic circuits and embedded systems. Emphasis is placed on the use of graphical methods and VHDL language for synthesis and simulation of logic structures as well as on the basic design strategies for more complex systems based on reconfigurable circuits by using the fast input/output hardware interfaces, especially in digital signal processing from smart networks (e.g. for the Internet of Things). By completing the course the student will also gain practical experience with modern CAE tools and development tools for reconfigurable circuits and embedded systems.

Completion conditions

Assessment and completion of the course: Graded credit test Continuous assessment: Credit test Final assessment: Student passes the final assessment and passes the examination when he or she meets the requirement to obtain at least 51% out of 100%. Examination Overall assessment: Overall assessment is the sum of the assessments obtained by students in the assessment period. The overall result is determined in accordance with the internal regulations of the Technical University in Košice. (Study Regulations, the internal regulation principles of doctoral studies)
