EECE 573Digital Systems Design II

Catalog

Advanced digital design principles, synthesis and test using hardware description language (HDL) at the register-transfer level (RTL). HDL programming and simulation basics, followed by advanced HDL programming for synthesis and test benching. Principles of RTL synthesis introduced. Design and synthesis of digital systems to meet constraints. Pre-synthesis and post-synthesis verification using simulation. Commercial synthesis tool discussed in detail. Lecture portion meets with EECE 451. Extra assignments, and/or the final project will be required at the graduate level. Prerequisite: EECE 351 or equivalent. Offered every fall semester. 3 credits.
