Students will be able to design, realize and test complex digital systems by learning about selected chapeters in physical architecture design.

Ability to design, realize and test physical architecture of complex digital systems.

Introduction to the architecture of computer system (specific characteristics of computer system design, computer system components – classification, basic properties, catalogue data, types of cases, choice and procurement). Signal extension, time relations and temeperature aspects in computer systems (problems of reflexion, tact distribution, power supply distribution, wave forms, interference reduction methods. Printed boards (basic notions, component mounting, cooling, recommendations for printed boards with high frequency tact). Connection circuits in computer systems (standards, components, application of programmable sequential networks). Some aspects of designing complex computer systemsand typical problems (multi-access memories, speed converters and level converters). Problems of real time system software (device handlers). Basic techniques for studying physical architecture of computer systems. Problems in power supply of computer systems (mains adapter, switch converters, linear regulators, chemical sources, multiple source supply, calculation of computer system supply).

Lectures. Tutorials. Computer practice. Consultations. The teaching is divided into two blocks. In the first block students attend theoretical classes during the mornings. In the afternoon they attend computer practice classes. During the second block students work on their examination papers.
