EL 5493 Advanced Hardware Design



Description:

This course will show how a hardware description language (for example, VHDL) can be used for computer hardware modeling, logic synthesis, register-level synthesis and simulation. The resulting design with hundreds or thousands of gates is then ready to be downloaded to form FPGA chips or silicon cells. We plan to use programs such as QuickVHDL, modeling and simulation tools from Mentor Graphics or similar large-scale programs. A design project is required, and students will make a written and oral presentation.
