Advanced Digital Systems Design and Verification

Catalog description

This course will introduce standard on-chip communication networks for digital systems, off-chip wired/wireless communication protocols and the implementation of standard I/O interfaces. This course will also teach the advanced FPGA architecture, design flow, and debugging methods, and reinforce students' prototyping skills on standalone FPGAs and cloud FPGAs. Modern digital design and optimization techniques will be presented and examined, as well. Reliability and security issues in digital system design will be emphasized in this course.
