Content

The course includes:

• abstractions in digital hardware systems, formalisms for system description
• Basics of digital design: Boolean algebra and representations, logic gates, combinational and sequential circuits, finite state machines
• Register-transfer-level (RTL) design: methodology translating a high-level (algorithmic) system description into control and datapath structures, foundations of synchronous digital design, timing and and timing constraints, basic architectural transformations, FPGA basics.
• VHDL: language basics and event-driven simulation, VHDL RTL design, synthesis and verification.

Activities

• Assisting students during the lab sessions to solve project assignments.
• Designing the project
• Correcting exams and homeworks
