Course Overview

This course presents design methods to construct digital systems, including combinational circuit and sequential circuit. Topics include: (1) Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools for design, (2) Hardware Description Languages (HDL) for simulation and synthesis, and (3) state machine specification, design, and simulation. In this course, some of the important features of HDL will be examined. The dataflow, structural, and behavioral modeling techniques will be discussed and related to how they are used to design combinational and sequential circuits. The use of test benches to exercise and verify the correctness of hardware models will also be described. Practical experience is gained by implementing various designs on a prototype FPGA board.
