Course detail

Logical circuits and systems

FEKT-BLOSAcad. year: 2017/2018

This subject gives a broader view on logic systems and their theoretical base (e. g. the morelevel logic and its advantages and disadvantages). A set of themes connected with applications of logic systems in control, in steering of measuring systems, in data acquisition and processing as well as the additional problems like the rise and suppression of disturbance will be discussed. To these themes belong also the design of non-standard logic elements and circuits, the problematics of coding and its use for the safety of data tramission and data storing, the use of the large-scale integration circuits like there are the semiconductor memories, programmable logic arrays and their programming and the auxiliary circuits for microprocessors.

The continuous and discrete expression of the information by a signal, the terms "the signal quantity" an "the code". The general logic element, its static an dynamic characteristics and its static and dynamic noise immunity. The passive and active logic elemnts. Morelevel and binary logics, the positive and negative logics and the duality of binary logic elements.

The binary and the symmetrical (Gray´s) code. The term "neighbour" and the neighbouring peaks and corps in the Haase´s graph.
