Advanced Digital System Design

Catalog description

Fundamentals of an advanced digital system design, and the use of a hardware description language, VHDL, for their synthesis and simulation. System examples include the arithmetic/logic unit, memory, and microcontrollers. The team-based project incorporates engineering standards and realistic constraints and also considers Cost, environmental impact, manufacturability, health, and safety, ethics, social and political impact. Prerequisite: [ECE 350L, 230L, 250D, 270DL, and 280L and (MATH 353 or 356) and (STA 240L or MATH 230 or MATH 231 or MATH 340 or ECE 380 or ECE 555 or EGR 238L) & PHYS 152L & CHEM 101DL and ECE 331L (prerequisite or corequisite)] or a graduate student standing.
