The course allows the students to acquire the knowledge and the ability to apply design techniques for digital systems in general and in particular with programmable platforms. The course analyzes the typical structure and the technology of modern programmable electronic components, develops the ability to design a digital electronic system from specifications to implementation and experimental verification of the behavior, the ability to draft a technical report on the design and characterization of a component or digital electronic system.
