Prerequisites: The lecturers strongly advises students who want to take this course have previously studied both "Digital Electronics" and "Electronic Components and Circuits". "Digital Electronics" covers combinational and sequential digital electronics, acquiring knowledge about the digital building blocks. The second, "Electronic Components and Circuits", it is important to know the basic electronic components and electronic wiring plate or breadboard test and evaluate its operation using basic tools and laboratory equipment.
Other subjects that can help students for this course are "Systems and Circuits", which addresses the differences between discrete-time systems and continuous time systems, and "Systems Architecture", which covers the C programming language the development of a project.
