Circuit Design and Fabrication

Catalog description

Students are introduced to VHDL logic synthesis with a top-down approach to design and simulation of digital circuits with focus on Finite State machine. In the laboratory, students are also introduced to CAD tools for schematic and PCB layout. Techniques and principles for schematic drawing and PCB artwork will be covered. Design methodologies for simple and multilayer boards. Laboratory experiments use Altera boards and PCB software.
