5.1. Methodological overview
This course covers the systematic design of advanced digital systems using Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and an introduction to ASIC design.
We will first review in detail the basic building blocks of FPGA programming. Second, we focus on architecture, design methodologies, best design practices, and optimization techniques for performance (frequency, latency, area, power, etc). Finally, we will cover testbench development, simulation for bit-true design verification, and synthesis of complete digital systems.
The emphasis is on FPGA technology, but most of the design techniques can also be applied to ASIC devices.
5.2. Learning tasks
This course includes a combination of lectures, laboratory assignments, and a final exam.
