This subject develops the theory and practice of designing logic systems, with a focus on Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). A hardware description language is used to design, simulate, and synthesise digital hardware, including both combinational and sequential logic. Topics include: logic design fundamentals, the VHDL language, finite state machines, and designing for testability.
Learning Outcomes
- Understand digital design methodologies and the role of programmable logic devices;
- Design digital logic based upon system requirements;
- Implement logic designs in a hardware description language;
- Evaluate logic designs using hardware simulation tools to test for correctness and issues of timing;
- Synthesise digital logic to field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and validate the resulting implementation.
