Digital Design
Topic outline
-
The Digital Design course covers the design of digital systems using VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) and their implementation in FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) technology.
It is a lab-oriented course that comprehensively explores the entire digital design process. The course introduces concepts such as MOS transistors, logic gates, flip-flops, memories, finite state machines, metastability, glitches, and power estimation in digital circuits. A major focus is placed on VHDL programming, where you will gain extensive training. You will acquire knowledge about FPGAs, learn how to utilize cutting-edge software tools for FPGA development, and develop skills to solve critical digital design problems. Throughout lectures and labs, you will undertake various example designs, including a VGA controller, PS2 controller, and custom processor.
Additionally, a significant component of the course involves project work, providing students with the opportunity to implement a design of their choice. As part of the learning experience, students will engage in idea discussions, plan development, and divide the work among team members (2-3 members per team). Finally, at the end of the semester, each team will present their results to the entire class.
