Reconfigurable Computing

Catalog description

As digital systems and microprocessors have been occupied with more digital gates, using traditional design techniques such as schematic capture and graphical methods have become very time-consuming and tedious. In modern digital system design automation tools, design and debugging are implemented at higher level of abstraction using hardware design Languages (HDLs) instead of schematic-based design methodology such as ORCAD. Two popular HDLs are VHDL (Very high-speed integrated circuit Hardwar Design Language) and Verilog. This course exposes students to the design and verification of digital circuits at the register-transfer level of abstraction using VHDL.
