Digital Systems Design

Catalog description

This course addresses topics on digital systems design, including programmable Logic, data encoding & decoding, architectures, and testing. The topics related to programable logic aim to cover complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs), field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), designing with FPGAs, with the use of design Flow, tools, and libraries. Encoding and decoding target the topics on clocking for high-speed digital design, stability issues, clock synchronization, and encoding and error detection and correction. Hardware architectures aim to cover topics on parallel vs serial and systolic architectures, and distributed arithmetic, and digital testing deals with modern packaging and Board testing issues. Prerequisites: EE 310 wth a minimum grade of C, EE 330 with a minimum grade of C.
