After passing the exam, it is expected that the student will be capable to: 1. Recognize numbers written in different systems (binary, octal, hexadecimal, BCD, decimal) and perform their conversion; 2 Calculate the result of basic arithmetical operations in these various systems; 3. Describe in details different formats of data in binary computer (unsigned and signed integers, decimal numbers with fixed and floating point, alphanumeric characters and instructions); 4. Interpret the basic postulates, rules and theorems of Boolean algebra, describe the logical expression by Boolean function and find its minimal form; 5. Define and analyze the function of basic and derived logic circuits and switching networks of arbitrary complexity; 6. Design basic digital systems – binary adder, multiplexer and decoder, and analyze their functioning; 7. Recognize and describe memory elements according to the technology of their production, the most important characteristics (capacity and access time) and hierarchical organization of the general purpose computer system; 8. Design high-capacity memory using memory chips with smaller capacity; 9. Analyze the operation of the processor and its microprogramming control unit.
