Adv Digital Sys Design w/FPGAs

Catalog description

Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have become a popular method of implementing digital electronic designs. Introduction to FPGA integrated circuit structure, concepts, programming, and user designs by way of lecture and laboratory. Thorough treatment of the Verilog Hardware Description Language (HDL) and Xilinx design software plus development boards, in a learn-by-doing approach, via simulation and actual implementation plus testing. Students are taught design building blocks in ever increasing complexity, first combinational blocks then sequential. For example: multiplexors, decoders, counters, state-machines, UARTS and finally an imbedded microcontroller.
